Around Keino Matsubara Beach × Recommended Hotel·Ryokan

Awaji Hamarikyu, a classic Japanese resort standing in the scenic Keino Matsubara, which is listed among Japan's Top 100 Sunsets. The beautiful scenery, once celebrated in the ancient Manyoshu poetry collection, continues to captivate travelers even today. Awaji Island has long been allowed to offer its products to the Imperial family as Miketsukuni, and it nurtures an abundance of seasonal ingredients from its sea and land. Uzushio Onsen Ten no Yu is sourced from the southern part of the island and is renowned for its smooth skin feel and heat retention effects. Poets who visited this place in ancient times left behind poems inspired by their experiences here; they spent time at Matsuho embraced by Awaji Island's rich nature that cleansed their spirits. We hope that modern visitors to Awaji Hamarikyu will also enjoy a peaceful holiday that soothes both body and mind.
