Overview

This is a half-day Geo tour for Genbudo Geo Park and Kinosaki Onsen.

(hot spring) to try a couple of 7 Mystic onsen.

(Quoted from Genbudo Park's official website)
Nature's Mystery. View the spectacular rock face up close. Genbudo Park is designated as a Natural Monument of Japan. It is the site of a lava flow from a volcanic eruption that happened 1.6 million years ago. When the lava cooled it formed hexagonal rock columns. There is a guide on site (Reservations may be at Toyooka Kanko Kyokai).

(Quoted from Kinosaki Onsen's official website)
Kinosaki Onsen is both a residential and a tourist district. The vast majority of shop owners live above or behind their shops, as this is the way it has always been. Because the local businesses call Kinosaki Onsen home, they take great pride in their town’s appearance, history, and culture. This makes Kinosaki Onsen an extremely safe, clean, and friendly place to live and to visit. Here locals depend on tourism for their businesses and livelihood, while tourism depends on the success of the local businesses. There are many businesses engaged in the town’s tourism, from accommodations and restaurants to landscaping and printing industries.
