Hotels in Hyogo, Japan

Hyogo sits in Japan's Kansai region, with four distinct seasons: humid summers reaching 86°F (30°C) and mild winters around 41°F (5°C). Famous for the pristine white Himeji Castle, a UNESCO site dating to 1333, and the world-renowned Kobe beef, you can explore the castle's five-story keep in spring when cherry blossoms bloom, or in winter head to Arima Onsen for natural hot springs without the summer crowds. Head to Kobe's Nankin-machi district in summer for street food like nikuman, or hike Mount Rokko for views of Osaka Bay in the crisp autumn air.
