Bizen sword (mid-Heian to early Kamakura periods)
A city of art where earth and fire are woven together
Japanese-New Year (e.g. Billions of yen)
A fishing town filled with sea breezes and vitality
fallow valley
A sanctuary of learning and a stone wall that tells the history
Yoshinaga era (1624.2.30-1644.12.16)
A heart-warming, original landscape of a satoyama

Bizen Area
Streets lined with brick chimneys.
I also look for Bizen ware vessels,
Visitors can enjoy the experience of making ceramics by actually touching the clay.
Tradition and new sensibilities mix,
You can spend your time in Bizen.
Nissei Area
About 2 hours from Osaka and Kobe.
There, the beauty of the many islands spreads out.
An extraordinary experience awaits you.
Taste the season and cross the bridge.
Go to Setonaikai National Park.
Sea breezes fragrant,
Welcome to Nissei, the gateway to the Bizen Sea.


Kanya Area
Only 15 minutes drive from Ibe.
There, the oldest school for common people in Japan
The "Old Kanya School" stands quietly.
The brilliance of the Bizen ware tiles that surround the national treasure auditorium,
With a silence that forgets time,
Healed by abundant greenery
Here is a journey of "resetting the mind."
Yoshinaga Area
From the village of Manabi-no-Sato, which embraces the historic site of the former Kanya Gakuen School, we go further north.
The Yoshinaga area is a town with a long history of living together with nature.
Cherry blossoms in spring,
Clear streams in summer,
Autumn foliage,
And the silence of winter.
Not to mention the beautiful scenery that only a mountain town can offer,
Enjoy a rich walk that satisfies all five senses.
