Private tour! Kayak around Kinosaki Onsen's nearby San'in Kaigan UNESCO Global Geopark coast!

10 minutes from Kinosaki Onsen lies Takeno Beach and fishing village.

This town is home to one of Japan's top 100 beaches and is part of the San'in Kaigan UNESCO Global Geopark due to its unique rocky coastline.

The astounding rock formations and pristine waters make this area the perfect spot for kayaking!

Join a local guide from Okukinosaki Seaside Hotel and set sail!

Takeno Beach

On clear days, the emerald green waters of Takeno Beach reveal the magical underwater scenery.

Caves

The rocky formations of Takeno Beach have formed many hidden caves along the coast.

These are perfect chances for photos!

Nekozaki Peninsula

The northernmost point in Hyogo Prefecture, the tip of Nekozaki Peninsula dramatically juts out from the coastline.

Watch the scenic horizon of the Sea of Japan with your guide!

Option: Snorkeling

Meet the hidden sea creatures living below the waves!

As part of the San'in Kaigan UNESCO Global Geopark, the waters near Takeno Beach house a diverse array of sealife, including squids, plankton, and starfish.
