Located at the northwestern tip of 'Hyogo' Prefecture, 'Shinonsen' Town is a hidden gem often called "Hyogo's Inner Sanctuary," boasting rich coastal and mountain scenery and the 1,200-year-old 'Yumura Onsen'. Its breathtaking, untouched nature, far removed from the hustle and bustle of city life, and the charming townscape with plumes of steam rising from every corner, warmly embrace all who visit.

While the location may seem distant at first glance, access from Tokyo is surprisingly smooth. A flight from 'Haneda' Airport to 'Tottori' Airport (Tottori Sand Dunes Conan Airport) takes about an hour and 15 minutes, and from there, a rental car or shuttle bus will bring you to this otherworldly hot spring paradise in about two and a half hours total. Furthermore, the ongoing expansion of the 'San-in Kinki' Expressway is further strengthening the land network from the airport, making travel increasingly comfortable.

After being healed by the magnificent nature of the 'San-in Kaigan' UNESCO Global Geopark and soothing your mind and body in one of Japan's premier high-temperature hot springs, indulge in fresh 'Matsuba' crab nurtured by the Sea of Japan and authentic 'Tajima' beef. It is an exquisite treat that you can discover just by extending your flight from 'Tokyo' a little further. Why not set off for your own personal sanctuary this coming weekend?
