- Hyougo Pref. Minamiawajishi Enamishimohada 415
- This shrine is located in Enamishimohada, Minami Awaji City. Izanagi-no-Mikoto and Izanami-no-Mikoto are the enshrined deities. It's been honored from ancient times as the sacred place in Japanese mythology where the two deities descended to the earth and created the nation. Worshiping there is thought to aid marriage and safe delivery of children. The shrine's 21.7-meter-tall vermillion-lacquered torii gate was built in 1982. A rare pine tree beside it called the Sanko-no-Matsu has three needles in each bunch that are considered a fortune symbol.

- Hyougo Pref. Sasayamashi Kondachoukondashinden 21-10
- A hot spring bathhouse located a 20-minute drive from the Tannan Sasayamaguchi interchange on the Maizuru-Wakasa Expressway. The bathhouse' hot spring wells up from 1,300 meters below ground in a stratum dating back 100 million years; its waters have a superb warming effect on the body. The alkaline simple mildly radioactive hot spring is used to fill the bathhouse' tubs, such as a rock bath made from Tamba stone, and a bathing area made with Tamba ware porcelain, including the indoor bath, outdoor bath, and even the floor. Each bathing area is separated into a large indoor bath area, source spring bath area, and large outdoor bath area.

- Hyogo Pref. Asagoshi Wadayamachoutakeda
- This mountain-top castle built on land at an elevation of 353 meters is also known as Torafusu-jo (Lying Tiger Castle) due to its shape which resembles a tiger lying down. Looking up at the castle from down below, it appears as though it is floating in the sky, and since it is enveloped by a sea of clouds that form due to the early morning fog in the autumn, it is also nicknamed the “castle in the sky” and “Japan’s Machu Picchu.” The season when the sea of clouds appears is from September through November, and the time from dawn to about 8:00 a.m. is recommended for the best view. One can see the entire castle floating in the sea of clouds from Ritsuunkyo halfway up Mt. Asago on Takeda Castle’s southeastern side.
