Castle tourism in Hyogo Prefecture
Hyogo Prefecture is full of sightseeing spots with different atmospheres depending on the area, such as Chinatown with its exotic Western-style architecture, Kobe with its modern bay area, and Himeji Castle, a world heritage site and national treasure with an extant castle tower. It is also one of the areas with the highest concentration of castles, boasting more than 1,000 castle ruins, and boasts 22 nationally designated historic sites such as Takeda Castle, the "Castle in the Sky," the most in Japan. We also recommend castle towns with a calm atmosphere such as Izushi, ``Tajima's Little Kyoto,'' and Tatsuno, ``Harima's Little Kyoto.'' Elegant hot spring areas such as Arima Onsen and Kinosaki Onsen are also attractive.
