Sano Kominka
Kyotango City, Kyoto Pref.
Sano, located in northern Kyoto Prefecture, lies within Kyotango City, known for its stunning coastline designated as part of the UNESCO San’in Kaigan Global Geopark. This historic area sits along the route connecting Kyotango’s main town, Mineyama, with Kumihama. Surrounded by rich nature along the upper reaches of the Sano Valley River flowing into scenic Kumihama Bay, it offers easy access to beaches, fishing, and surfing. Though set in the mountains, the terrain is gentle, roads continue to improve, and famous destinations such as Kinosaki Onsen, Amanohashidate, and even Kyoto City—about a two-hour drive away—are within convenient reach.
