[Kasumi Crab]
Kasumi crab refers to red snow crab caught at Kasumi Port in Hyogo Prefecture. Because the fishing grounds and port are close together, allowing for day trips to the fishing grounds, live red snow crabs, which are rare nationwide, are distributed locally!
[Kinosaki Onsen Town]
There is an anecdote about Mandara-yu, one of the seven public baths in Kinosaki. In 717, when the monk Dochi visited Kinosaki, he saw many people suffering from incurable diseases. Dochi prayed to the guardian deity Shisho Myojin, "I want to do something to save these people suffering from terrible diseases." Then, in Dochi's dream, a white-haired old man appeared and said, "Monk, if you dig under the Biran tree southwest of here, you will find the hot spring you seek," and then disappeared. Dochi believed the message and built a hermitage at the site of the present-day Mandara-yu. He chanted the Hachimandara-kyo sutra for a thousand days, and when his prayers were answered, the miraculous hot spring gushed forth (the origin of Mandara-yu). This is considered the discovery of Kinosaki Onsen.
