Tanba City, surrounded by the mountains of eastern Hyogo, is a place like a “hometown of the heart” with silence, natural beauty, and scattered old shrines and temples. The autumn leaves are particularly wonderful, and the sight of ancient temples such as Kogen-ji and Entsu-ji being dyed crimson evokes a quiet impression different from Kyoto. It is also known as the place where the watershed that divides Japan north and south (the point where water separates into the Sea of Japan and the Seto Inland Sea) is located, making it a geologically interesting spot. Organic farming is flourishing, and you can taste freshly harvested vegetables at farmhouse restaurants. It is an ideal hideaway area for travelers seeking Japan’s gentle four seasons and meditative time at historic temples.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
