Along the way you can enjoy various local scenery. At Hamasaka station you can rest your feet in the nearby foot bath after your long journey.

Shin-onsen has it all: mountains, ocean, and onsen. Having all of this in one place aloows you to enjoy the town whichever way you like.

Shin-onsen is home to several hot springs (onsen) such as Yumura Onsen, Shichikama Onsen, and Hamasaka Onsen. The number of onsens in Shin-onsen is so great that the word "onsen" is used in the name of the town. Enjoy onsen which have the power to heal body and soul, while being surrounded by plentiful nature.

With mountains, rivers, and sea, the area is overflowing with nature. From that nature comes bounties that offer the "riches of the land and sea".

For example, Tajima Beef, which has garnered fame nationwide as a unique, high quality brand of beef; fresh seafood and shellfish from the Sea of Japan, which includes the king of winter delicacies, Matsuba Crab; and, delicious sake crafted by generations of sake artisans.
