A "Town of Cedar" coexisting with beautiful forests, with more than 90% of its area being forest. It flourished as a post town for daimyo's journeys (sankin-kotai) in the Edo period, and dignified architecture still remains in "Chizu-shuku." Especially the "Ishitani Family Residence," an Important Cultural Property, is a place that can be called the peak of Japanese architectural beauty, with a fusion of a beautiful Japanese garden and a building luxuriously using giant cedar beams on a vast site. Recently, "Forest Therapy" utilizing the wisdom of the forest and bread making using local resources are also active. A perfect place for travelers who want to touch traditional Japanese forestry culture and rich spirituality while enveloped in a deep scent of green.
