Taiza Crab Day Trips and Accommodation Tours

Matsuba crabs landed at Taiza Port are called "Taiza crabs."
Taiza crabs are marked by a green tag.
Because the catch is so small, it is considered a rare crab and highly valued.
The meat of crabs, which grow in nutrient-rich ocean waters, is sweet and fragrant, making it extremely satisfying to eat.

Taiza crabs are landed at the Taiza fishing port in Kyotango Town, Kyotango Prefecture. Kyoto The fishing season opens on Nov. 6 every year, and crabs are strictly checked and sorted by fishermen themselves on board their boats before being auctioned. Because the days when small boats can fish for crabs are limited due to weather conditions, the catch of Mamato crabs is very small and they are called "phantom crabs".

This hot spring has been known since the Heian period and has a history of 1300 years. It is famous for its seven outdoor baths, and there is a wide range of rental yukatas. There are many shops in the hot spring town, and you can enjoy eating while walking and shopping. Kinosaki Onsen has been visited by many literary figures from the Edo period to modern times, such as Tetsukan Yosano, Akiko, and Toson Shimazaki, among them Shiga Naoya, who wrote the novel ``At Kinosaki'' based on his experiences while recuperating from an injury. I have visited it more than a dozen times in my life, including writing about it. 24 literary monuments have been erected in public baths and places associated with the area, and the literary walk to visit them is also very atmospheric.
