Located at the northernmost tip of Kyoto Prefecture, the "Kyotango Area" is a leading part of "Kyoto by the Sea" known for its beautiful coastline and rich seafood. Dynamic rock formations certified as a UNESCO Global Geopark and the mystical sunset at "Yuuhigaura" spread throughout nature's formative beauty. Additionally, fresh seafood, including the "Taiza Crab" called a phantom crab, fascinates gourmet travelers. With a deep history as a production area for "Tango Chirimen" traditional silk fabrics, it is a profound area where you can experience the open sea and the lives of traditional fishing and farming villages, completely different from urban Kyoto.
