It has a different atmosphere from the townscape in Mima City, with dignified houses quietly conveying the prosperity of former times. This region flourished as a transportation hub and continues to be home to sake breweries and a rich intersection of food culture and history.

It is popular as a hidden gem for travelers who want to taste the quiet, authentic atmosphere of Japan without being over-commercialized. It's a place for a sophisticated stroll while enjoying sake tastings at local breweries.
