It takes only two and a half hours to get there from the centre of Osaka. Kinosaki has been famous for its onsen for over 1,000 years. Japanese people enjoy soto-yu, which involves experiencing several different onsens without staying at a hotel. We are also going on a trip to Ankokuji, which is famous for the view from the temple window. On the second day, we will visit another temple and have soba at a Kawadoko restaurant located beside the river. The area stays cool even in summer due to the air and water from the mountains. This tour is completely different from others. You can relax and experience the real Japan.

    Known as “Okyo-ji Temple,” Daijyo-ji Temple is home to 165 wall paintings by Edo period painter Maruyama Okyo and his 12 disciples, all of which are designated as National Important Cultural Properties of Japan. Centering on the eleven-faced Kannon Bosatsu (National Important Cultural Property) in the Buddhist room, the fusuma paintings in the thirteen rooms are a magnificent representation of the world of Buddha, or mandala, by incorporating the three-dimensional space of the rooms. The paintings, which are painted only with ink but appear to be colored, and the “eight-way glare” technique, in which the painted figure's body appears to change direction depending on the viewer's position, are also highlights of Okyo's signature painting technique.
