In Japan, there are many famous tourist spots in Japan such as Kyoto, Osaka and Tokyo. However, Kinosaki is not well-known but is beautiful spot in Japan.
On July 17th, 2018. It was on my birthday, and my boyfriend took me to go to Kinosaki in Hyogo as birthday gift. I had never been here before, so I was really looking forward to it. Firstly, we went to Takeda castle which is famous as castle in the sky. It was built in 1431 and abandoned in 1600. We climbed from the bottom of the mountain and walked for about 20 minutes. When we arrived at the castle, I felt as if I was on a cloud. I could feel Japanese history. It was amazing landscape.
After visiting Takeda castle, we headed to go to Japanese traditional inn which is called Ryokan in Japan. We ate Japanese traditional food such as crab, shyabu-shyabu, sashimi and side dishes served in small bowls at dinner. Employees were so kind and took care of us politely. We could spend special time at this inn thank for them. Also, they gave us tickets which can go on a hot spring hopping in Kinosaki hot spring street.
For that reason, we went to hot spring street after the dinner. There are seven places where can take a bath for free. Most people rent kimono at the ryokan and walk around the hot spring town.Wearing a kimono and walking along the tasteful streets made us feel like we were back in time to the old days of Japan. Also,there are many stalls where you can enjoy eating, and we could spent a special time at there.
