Hyogo

/ Japan

Nature. Hidden. Vast.

About

Whilst best known for it's capital city of Kobe, Hyogo is abundant with great hidden places to vist. The region is rich with natural beauty, and hence is a great place to explore if you love the outdoors. Some of my best and eye opening experiences in Japan have been in Hyogo, such as visting the historic town of Takarazuka, and experiencing what Japanese student life is like at Kansei Gakuin University. With my experiences being shown around by locals, I hope you can discover some of the hidden gems that Hyogo has to offer in this space.

FUKUCHIYAMA RAILWAY TRAIL

Hyogo

Discontinued in 1986, the Fukuchiyama Railway Trail still shows remnants of its vibrant past. Once a bustling railway line, it has transformed into a long, scenic trail featuring beautiful views and walkable train tunnels that can span almost up to 1 km! It's truly a hidden gem for nature lovers, but hike at your own risk!

OHAMA BEACH

Hyogo

Experience the beautiful Japanese nature and beach at Ohama. Located on the coastal line of Awaji Island, it's far away from the busy city of Kobe and Osaka, making it a great getaway place for families and tourists who want a change of setting from the usual city life.
