Access from Major Cities

Sumoto Onsen is the largest hot spring resort on Awaji Island, offering stunning views of Osaka Bay. Since there are no trains on the island, high-speed buses are the most convenient way to travel.

From Osaka (Approx. 2 hours)

  • By Highway Bus: Take a highway bus (West Japan JR Bus or Honshi Kaikyo Bus) from JR Osaka Station or Namba (OCAT) bound for Sumoto Bus Center.
  • By Car: Take the Hanshin Expressway and Kobe-Awaji-Naruto Expressway via the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. Exit at the Sumoto IC.

From Kobe / Sannomiya (Approx. 1 hour 20 mins)

  • By Highway Bus (Easiest Way): Take a highway bus from the Sannomiya Bus Terminal. Buses run frequently and take you directly to the Sumoto Bus Center.
  • By Car: Take the Kobe-Awaji-Naruto Expressway. It is a scenic 1-hour drive from central Kobe.

From Kansai International Airport (KIX) (Approx. 2 hours)

  • By Bus: Take the Limousine Bus from KIX to Sannomiya Station, then transfer to the highway bus for Sumoto.
    • Note: Some direct buses may be available depending on the season—check the airport bus counter for the latest "Awaji Island" routes.

Pro-Tip for Travelers: Once you arrive at the Sumoto Bus Center, most major hotels and ryokans provide a free shuttle service to pick you up. There is also a small footbath (ashiyu) near the bus center where you can relax while waiting for your shuttle!
