Aioi city my other lovely home
📍Aioi city is located 20 minutes away by train from Himeji and around 2 hours from Osaka.
Aioi has a several things to do which are either family oriented or individual oriented and can be both. It’s quickly becoming a bed town of neighboring big cities, which normally entails infrastructural development.
One of my favorite things to do is to participate in dragon boat race at the end of May, especially the annual Aioi Peron festival - a 100-year long history of dragon boat racing.
Sometimes I pop up at a local bar, with no table charge, called Beck524. This bar hosts live music once or twice in a month.
If you like coffee with a pleasant atmosphere, I recommend going to Tokishirazu Cafe. They also serve herbal teas and sweets.
My favorite lunch place is at a local fish market called 相生市立水産物市場. They also have a place to do bbq, family friendly.
For all the hiking enthusiasts, you can enjoy a peaceful moment in nature, a 40-60 minute hike of Tenkadai san, a mountain with a power spot, small shrines, and a beautiful aerial view.
Once in while I like to immerse myself in a hot bath at Aioi Peron public bath.
