This is a beautiful course that spreads out over the gentle hills in the
south-eastern part of Lake Tojo. The coniferous pine and cypress trees that
surround the entire course create a calm and relaxing environment within
the Japanese landscape. The fairway has an average width of 40 yards,
meaning that golfers have a much greater chance of staying out of the rough,
for a much more enjoyable round of golf.

Live fish auctions are a unique kind of experience. Some 100 different varieties of marine life called “Akashi no Maemon” from the rich fishing area of the Akashi Strait find their way from this market to other markets, stores and shops all around the country. “Hiru ami” which literally translates to “midday net” is a fish auction that takes place in the middle of the day. Visitors can “catch” this auction as well as observe some of the surrounding fishing facilities.

One of the things for which the Harima area is famous is its festivals which take place in October and are held to give thanks for the year’s rich harvest.

Kinosaki Onsen boasts a history of 1,300 years. A river flowing in from the Sea of Japan travels through the center of the town as willow trees decorate the riverbanks in a picturesque scene that takes one back to old-time Japan. It is here that guests may experience true Japanese hot spring culture. Seven hot spring baths called “sotoyu,” meaning “outer hot spring” are located outdoors in public areas. Guests staying at inns are issued a pass allowing them to bathe at these sotoyu free of charge. When walking through town heading to or from the sotoyu, yukata robes and traditional geta clogs are considered standard attire. Both yukata and geta are available at inns. Meals here are gorgeous and often include crab, sashimi, and Tajima beef.
