Take a stroll back in time at Takehara, Hiroshima's Little Kyoto.
The ecotour site, Takehara, located in the south-central part of Hiroshima Prefecture, and facing the Seto Inland Sea, is known as a ”Little Kyoto'' town in Hiroshima. The Takehara Townscape Preservation District, lined by historical buildings from the Edo period (1603-1867) to the Meiji (1868-1912), Taisho (1912-1926), and Showa (1926-1989) eras, is designated as a Japan Heritage surrounded by a nostalgic landscape.
In addition, saké using Hiroshima's unique “soft water brewing method'' and wa-én (和塩, Japanese salt) rich in mineral and nutritious are produced in Takehara by taking advantage of nature's blessings.
A special experience for those who love art, history, nature and culture.
The ecotours will provide an opportunity for visitors to see art making processes or experience ‘the artistic space of hospitality’ created by shohekiga paintings.
