Once you enter this restaurant, you can see framed autographs along the wall of famous Japanese people who have dined here. The restaurant itself is not large so be ready to wait for a table.
The menu is all in Japanese but outside of the restaurant is a model display of the most popular dishes in the window.
Favorite Dish: I ordered "kani chirashi" (crabmeat & sliced steamed egg & fish roe over a bed of rice), which was very good. The "kani sushi" (crab sushi) that I ordered for take-out was even better!!

The most convenient way to get to Kinosaki is by JR train. I took the train from Himeji. You can take either the local train (1890yen), or the express train (3250yen). The local train takes about 2 1/2 hrs & you have to transfer twice. The express train takes less than 2 hrs & there is no transfer.
Once you arrive in Kinosaki, you walk everywhere. Everything is within walking distance so there is no need for a car or bicycle.

Japanese crab from the Kinosaki area being famous, this is the place to eat & buy it! There are seafood markets that line the main shopping street in front of JR Kinosaki Station. You can buy fresh or frozen crab & have it sent to your home (in Japan only I believe) from any of the shops.

When putting on your yukata, be sure to wrap from the right first, & left over. If you wear it starting on the left side first, it`s wrong! When people attend a funeral & they wear kimono, the wrap starts on the left side. It is worn this way only for funerals. So be careful!
