KINOSAKI

Last month I went to Kinosaki Hyogo.
It takes about 4 hrs from Osaka by car.

This town is located near the Japan Sea and these areas are very cold in winter.
It was snowing!

This town is well-known for its hot springs.
And crab dishes are also popular. I can say that the major destination of trips for the Sea of Japan side is to eat crabs for many Japanese.
Crabs are in season in winter.
In the cold season, Japanese often eat nabe.(Nabe is Japanese one-pot dish cooked at the table.)
Nabe with crabs(Kani-nabe) are also very popular.

I'm sorry but I couldn't take pictures of kani-nabe and I show you a sample picture.
This is typical Kani-nabe.

And this is the picture I took this time.
before cooked...

We enjoyed the dinner so much (^-^)


On the next day, we took the cable car.
It was bad weather and very cold!
We couldn't enjoy the scenery so much.
But I enjoyed the roasted rice cake.

For a souvenir, I bought sake made in this town.
I really enjoyed this trip.
