View Matsuho no Sato

2024年1月15日

View Matsuho no Sato is a day spa resort located on a small hill on Awaji Island, from where you can enjoy a magnificent view of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. While tasting fresh seafood and mountain delicacies, you can take a commemorative photo at the best photo spot with the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, one of the most spectacular views representing Awaji Island, in the background.

Whenever my friends and acquaintances visit, I go to this favorite spot for hot springs together. If you stop by Awaji Island, please enjoy a bath at Biyu Shohonosato.
