Tanba-Sasayama City is a town like a "living history museum" that conveys the remnants of a former castle town to the present. The Sasayama Castle ruins remaining in the center, and the streets lined with samurai residences and old merchant houses, are designated as a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. Here, there are many accommodations and cafes that have renovated traditional townhouses, allowing you to stay while feeling Japan's rich past firsthand. In addition, unique food cultures such as "Botan Nabe" to taste wild boar meat and the high-grade Tanba black edamame beans released in autumn are also attractive. It is a place where proud local traditions, such as the Bon Odori of the "Dekansho Festival" which has continued for over 400 years, still breathe today, allowing for a deep and calm journey.
