Summer Rental Car Plan: Tanto Sunflower Festival and Izushi Castle Town Tour (with English-speaking Guide)
This tour is only available in August
Hit the road this summer vacation with a rental car adventure around Kinosaki Onsen!
After picking up a rental car in front of Kinosaki Onsen Station, take it slow with a morning drive down to Tanto Farming Village, home to over 500,000 sunflowers at the annual Tanto Sunflower Festival!
Be sure to pick some fresh sweet corn while you're strolling through the fields for a pre-lunch snack!
On the way back to Kinosaki Onsen, make a pitstop for lunch in Izushi Castle Town, home to the local delicacy Izushi Sara Soba (buckwheat noodles).
This dish is traditionally served on five porcelain plates, but eating a total of 20 plates for men and 15 for women in one sitting is customarily viewed as a commendable achievement in Izushi.
See if you can conquer this goal during lunch with a local guide!
After lunch, your local guide will be happy to show you the best of Izushi's rich historical sites, including a backstage tour of the region's oldest Kabuki theater, a stunning Japanese clocktower, red torii gates, and more.
But wait, there's even more! Did you know the area around Kinosaki Onsen is known for being Japan's largest producer of handbags?
Before you head out for the drive back Kinosaki Onsen, make one last stop at Izushi's Yuho Bag Workshop to make your own keepsake mini bag!
