Summary: Overall route map

Destination 1: Roadside Station "Awaji”

Weather permitting, we had a clear view to the other side of the bridge.

Many Japanese celebrities have come here.

The rice is delicious

Seafood dishes are available at Roadside Station Awaji. Although the food is reasonably priced and the portions are not large, it is recommended because of the variety of rice dishes available.
Also, if you spend more than 1,000 yen for a meal or at the souvenir corner, you will receive a 200 yen discount ticket for Biyu Shoho no Sato, which can be used at destination (2).

Destination 2: Biyu Shohonosato

Since cameras are not allowed in the bathrooms, the view from the open-air bath is quoted from the website.

Spectacular view if the weather is good.

You can enter this hot spring for a whopping 530 yen (as of March 1, 2024) if you get a discount ticket at the "Awaji" roadside station.
Also, because the hot spring is located at a high elevation, the view from the outside is superb. Enjoy the hot spring with a spectacular view.

Silver hot spring was closed at the end of February 2024 and I could not enter.
