All Reviews of Tonomachi Dori / Honmachi Dori (Streets)

This place truly deserves its reputation as the Little Kyoto of the San'in region, tucked away in a basin surrounded by mountains.
Especially along the beautiful Tonomachi Street, one side is lined with traditional samurai residences with rustic white walls, while the other side has a crystal-clear canal.
Because there are relatively fewer tourists here, it lacks the bustle of more famous destinations. Instead, it perfectly preserves a sense of secluded elegance and tranquility. It’s an ideal place to slow all the way down and enjoy a deeper, more peaceful kind of travel.

There are so many historical sites here. The little canals are home to about 20,000 koi fish! It's really relaxing just watching them and spending an afternoon here.
