Access
Kannabe is located in the mountains of northern Hyogo. About a 30 minute drive to the Sea of Japan and 40 minutes to the hot spring town of Kinosaki Onsen.
It is also located about halfway between Amanohashidate in Kyoto and Tottori Sand Dunes.
While Kannabe can be accessed by train and bus, we suggest traveling by car so that you can make the most of the area and its location.
