Your guide will share fascinating stories about the town’s unique layout, where merchant homes were nestled between samurai residences on both hillsides.

This experience isn’t just about sightseeing—it’s about feeling the spirit of old Japan through clothing, taste, tradition, and scenery. and sake experience!
