Private Izushi Castle Town Tour (with English-speaking guide)
From Kinosaki Onsen, head over to Izushi and transport back to the samurai era while exploring the town.
Take a local bus from Kinosaki Onsen to Izushi, where an English-speaking guide will give you a local tour of their own hometown.
Izushi is Toyooka City's quiet castle town home to retro stores, memorable attractions, and unique specialties.
As the bus heads to Izushi, you may see an Oriental White Stork, a bird that was once extinct in Japan but was reintroduced right here in Toyooka.
In Izushi, you will have the chance to explore the Izushi Castle Ruins, Shinkoro Clock Tower, Samurai House Karoyashiki, Eirakukan Kabuki Theater (closed on Thursdays), and more!
You will also enjoy a lunch of Izushi Sara Soba, a local specialty in which one portion is served on 5 small plates.
Experience the rare chance to tour a Kabuki theater. Go on a backstage tour of Eirakukan Kabuki Theater, and explore behind, under, and above the stage!
