Sumoto Onsen
洲本温泉
A hot spring town below Sumoto Castle facing Osaka Bay. Ocean-view outdoor baths and Awaji seafood cuisine are the highlights of staying here.
Sumoto Onsen lies along Ohama Coast in Sumoto City, backed by Sumoto Castle on Mikuma Mountain. Ryokan line the shore, and most have outdoor baths with views of the sunrise over Osaka Bay. Many people staying on a circuit of Awaji Island choose this area. Dinner options include Awaji beef, sea bream and, in winter, three-year-aged Awaji fugu. Some ryokan offer day-use baths for about ¥1,000 to ¥2,000. Highway buses from Sannomiya or Osaka take about 1.5 to 2 hours to the 'Sumoto Bus Center.' You can stroll to Ohama Park and Sumoto Castle from here.
