Beautiful Kyoto: Kyōtango

When people think of Kyoto they imagine the capital city. With its countless shrines and temples, captivating museums, and thriving shops, Kyoto City is most certainly a beautiful place… but many visitors don’t know that just a few hours north waits the natural beauty of Kyōtango. Part of the Tango Penninsula area along the Sea of Japan, Kyōtango is home to breathtaking ocean views and gorgeous beaches, some of which you might not even believe you found in Japan! Enjoy a leisurely, relaxing night in Kyōtango’s hot spring hotels, take a drive through the country and make a stop to sample local cuisine, and most importantly… pack your swimsuits and hit the beach!
