Awaji Island is an integral part of Japanese myth and legend. Said to be the island that the country of Japan formed from first, Awaji Island includes many historic sites, landmarks, hot springs, and some of the best food in Japan.
“The Region of Food,” as the island is called, was home to the Imperial Palace gardens and livestock dating back more than 1000 years. Kobe Beef comes from Awaji cattle and is known for its perfect marbling and highest quality of flavor. Visitors wanting to relax at the spas and resorts around the hot springs can book day trips or overnight accommodations. Some of the facilities feature open-air and rooftop hot spring public baths.
