Yamashiro-cho in Miyoshi City is a unique region world-famous as the "Village of Yokai Legends," surrounded by steep mountains and deep valleys. Over 150 types of yokai legends remain here, and it's considered the home of "Konaki-jiji," who appears in Shigeru Mizuki's manga. Walking the streets, handmade stone and wooden yokai statues created by locals welcome you everywhere, providing fun as if wandering into another world. The rugged terrain is also famous as a high-quality tea producing area, and the deep flavor of "Awa Tea" nurtured in misty environments is also a charm. For travelers wanting to touch the imagination of people who coexisted with harsh nature or mysterious Japanese folklore, it's the best wonderland to tickle the adventurous spirit.
