Tanto, a small farming village a hop skip and a jump (or for specifics, about an hour) away from the mystic hot spring town.

It could happen to anyone: a memorable trip to the hot springs in Kinosaki Onsen proved more than enough to quell your worries and musings about the future workdays and obligations to come, but you’re not quite ready to say farewell to the land of hot springs, yukata, and Japan’s best beef. A one-day add-on (or two or three, depending on how many areas you want to explore) is just what you need in one of Kinosaki Onsen’s surrounding little towns.
