The site of the Kurayoshi Line, abolished in 1985, is currently attracting attention as the "Most Beautiful Abandoned Railway Line in Japan." Especially near the Taikyuji Station ruins, bamboo groves stand between the tracks, creating a mystical landscape where rails continue through the dense bamboo. The nostalgic atmosphere, as if time has stopped, is globally popular as a photo spot for SNS. The sight of nature swallowing man-made objects is beautiful yet somehow sad and poetic. Walking through this place where historical remains and nature's vitality fuse, you can simultaneously feel the memory of Japan's modernization and the peaceful flow of time.

Kurayoshi City

The greatest attraction is the "Utsubuki Tamagawa" area, where the streetscape of merchant houses from the Edo to Meiji periods remains. The landscape with red Sekishu tiles, white plaster walls, and stone bridges over clear streams is designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings; walking here feels like time travel.

It is a beautiful city where you can touch the aesthetic sense and careful lifestyle of traditional Japanese merchants while enjoying a quiet and sophisticated stroll.
