Last Season for Crabs
Direct to Stork Tajima Airport
A hot spring town loved by men of letters
A trip to Kinosaki Hot Springs after the snow melts

The Kinosaki Hot Springs are famous for Naoya Shiga's novel "At Kinosaki," and even after he published "At Kinosaki," Naoya Shiga visited Kinosaki many times in his private life and wrote, "The hot springs are clear and good for a therapeutic bath, and the surrounding mountains are green and beautiful. Delicious fish from the Sea of Japan is served daily for the guests to enjoy. The people's hearts are warm and in harmony with the wooden buildings. He praised it highly.

Why not take a private jet to Kinosaki Onsen, a town loved by such a literary figure?

Kinosaki is difficult to access by public transportation, especially from the Kanto area, but you can get there comfortably by private jet.

Kinosaki Onsen is more than just hot springs. How about a trip to enjoy gourmet Matsuba Crab (Tsuiyama Crab, Kasumi Crab, Shibayama Crab, etc.), the last of the season?

The inn introduced here is Nishimuraya. Founded in Edo Ansei Era, Kinosaki Onsen Nishimuraya is the best ryokan in San'in region and has 160 years of tradition.

Matsuba crabs landed at Tsuiyama Port near Kinosaki Hot Springs are very popular for their high freshness and fresh flavor due to the proximity of the fishing grounds!
Nishimuraya Honkan offers Matsuba crab dishes using only Matsuba crab. (Nishimuraya Honkan also offers Matsuba crab dishes using only Tsuiyama crab (advance reservation, extra charge).
