2025 Sumoto Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Currently, day trips are only available with lunch and hot springs (or just a meal). You can use the 'Spa Terrace Suigetsu', the 'Treatment Spa Komoe' (paid), and the 'Amamiya no Shizuku' at the annex Awaji Yumesenkei. Lunch is served at 'Bar Awaji'. Black soybean tea is provided at the post-bath area 'Oasis'. This time, I chose the Awaji Island Seafood Noodles for lunch. The noodles were made with seafood sourced from the local fishing port. Although the day trip-only option is no longer available, I enjoyed a luxurious time with the large public bath all to myself. This hotel is recommended for hot spring lovers, as you can enjoy the sauna, open-air bath, and the hotel's own red hot spring, Komoe Onsen. ◆ Day Trip Casual Plan ◆ Awaji Island Seafood Noodles + Bath Ticket 〈Price〉3,520 yen per adult (tax and service charge included) 〈Meal Time〉11:30 AM - 2:00 PM 〈Closed〉Tuesdays 〈Hot Spring Usage Time〉 ・Spa Terrace Suigetsu (12:00 PM - 6:00 PM) Awaji Tanada no Yu (Men) Kuniumi no Yu (Women) ・Awaji Yumesenkei Yuhinkaku Amamiya no Shizuku (12:00 PM - 4:00 PM) Visit Date: October 2024 ✱----------------------------------------------- 【Accommodation】Hotel New Awaji 【Location】20 Kojidani, Sumoto City, Hyogo Prefecture (Komoe Coast) 【Access】By car: About 15 minutes from Sumoto IC, about 25 minutes from Tsuna Ichinomiya IC, about 15 minutes from Awaji Island Central Smart IC -----------------------------------------------✱

Domestic trip to Awaji Island🚘 Visited the famous Ouzu Shokudo for its seafood bowl 🐟 The fresh fish was incredibly delicious 😋 There's also a roadside station where you can buy local specialties. There was a cute sweet potato statue too 🍠 After that, we went to Sumoto Castle Ruins 🏯 It was small, but the view from there was amazing! Unfortunately, the weather was bad and it was cloudy 😢 Next, we moved to Awaji Hanasajiki 🚘 There were many flowers and even objects shaped like Awaji Island's famous onions 🧅 Admission here is free, so I highly recommend it! Lastly, we went to Awaji Yumebutai 🪷 There are various facilities scattered around, and the Hyakudan-en, with flower beds lined up on the slope, was particularly wonderful ✨

I went to a cafe called "SIGNS&CAMP KITCHEN" on Awaji Island in Hyogo Prefecture! 📍45-2 Torikai-naka, Goshiki-cho, Sumoto-shi, Hyogo This cafe was created by renovating an old house, and it was very nice surrounded by nature. The interior of the store had a calm atmosphere, and it was comfortable to feel like time was passing slowly! I ordered various kinds of donuts, and I was surprised at how delicious they were all! All the freshly fried crispy donuts were delicious, but the white chocolate and caramel flavors were my favorites! You can also take out donuts! They also have Vietnamese food such as pho and banh mi, and I'd like to go there again! #FritabiWinter

"💫Hotel New Awaji, rated as the 'Best Hotel' by Japan's JTB, has always been a dream place for me. After experiencing it in person, I just want to say: it's worth it! In addition, there are two other hotels, 'Nagisa no Sho Hanagoyomi' and 'Yumoto Kan Unkai', which share this beautiful coastline and form a large resort." "🏖Imagine that the three hotels are exclusively located on the extended coastline. You can check in at any hotel and then freely shuttle between various facilities. Whichever hotel has a vacancy can be your destination. This casual and free feeling is simply a small fortune in travel!" "♨The hot spring experience of the hotel is definitely a highlight. There are three public hot springs, a rooftop private bath, and a foot bath, allowing you to experience ultimate relaxation in the sea breeze. I especially recommend the hot spring of 'Yumoto Kan Unkai'. The scenery and facilities there are first-class, and even the hair dryer is better than that of ordinary hotels." "🍽As for the food, remember to book dinner in advance. There are several restaurants in the hotel to choose from, each with its own characteristics. Breakfast is a rich buffet, allowing a wonderful day to start from the taste buds." "🛏The rooms are spacious and full of Japanese style. We chose the tatami room type with a balcony, which can directly face the sea. Unfortunately, it was cloudy that day and we couldn't appreciate the magnificent sunset🌄, but the sunrise🌅 in the early morning must be beautiful." "🚗In terms of transportation, the hotel provides a free shuttle service, and you can enjoy convenient travel by making an appointment in advance. Whether you are departing from the hotel or returning, there is a clear timetable. Remember to check it out and don't miss it!" "I hope my sharing can make you feel the charm of Hotel New Awaji. Here, it is not only a rest stop on the journey, but also a paradise where the soul can be nourished. When the sun shines on the sea, when the sea breeze blows through the hair, you will find that everything here is worth it!"

This shrine, commonly known as Komoe no Ebisu Shrine, stands on the coast of Sumoto Onsen. It is said that if you visit the shrine on the first three days of the New Year, you will not get sick for a year. On the hilltop, there is Awashima Shrine, which stands with its back to the sea. As it is a shrine on the coast, the main hall was washed away by a typhoon in 1950. When it was rebuilt, it welcomed the Ebisu Okami, and it is a shrine loved by locals, where many people visit to pray for good fortune on the first and third days of the New Year.
