Izushi Castle Town

Reviewed By petertaylor57 - Auckland Central, New Zealand

Try and find this one on your map of Japan! 45 mins on the bus from Toyooka, itself not on too many people's 'must visit' list .Bus goes along narrow road atop a wide river bank with views to each side. Then, almost out of nowhere, you arrive at this tiny castle town, Izushi. The castle area at the back of the bus station is the main focus with restaurants seling the local soba noodle dish, museums, old houses, and, of course, the small castle which obviously once was much bigger. Easily done in a day. Guess its secret lies in the fact that the railway passed it by. Glad I took the trouble to go!

Genbudo Park

Reviewed By W9171FFmichellec - San Diego, United States

We drove to this attraction, found free parking at the visitor center/gift shop And went in the park for Free. These are not caves that one can go in, but observe the cave face from a safe distance. Very cool rock formations, its a shame that these used to be used as a quarry so that gardeners could have hexagonal pavers.

Kinosaki Onsen Ropeway

Reviewed By PaulGCalifornia - Island of Hawaii, United States

I don’t know why this is called a ‘rope way’ but it’s a cable car/tram like a ski resort. Very reasonable price and the view on top is very nice. The beautiful old temples halfway up is the ‘hidden gem.’ Pay the 300 yen and take off your shoes and go inside. Photos allowed ! People running the cable car and the temple docents are super nice and efficient.
