Hita, Amagase
Hita, known as "Little Kyoto," is a lively town where the culture of townspeople flourished during the Edo period. The old-fashioned streetscape full of emotions still remains, and you can take a rickshaw ride to explore the town. The biggest attraction is the "Takatsuka Atago Jizo-son," where Japan's unique religious views remain. The countless Jizo statues behind the shrine, covering part of the mountain, is a very rare sight in Japan. In Amagase, you can enjoy the scenery of the hot spring town and the river, as well as the elegant "Sakura Waterfall," where the splashing water looks like falling cherry blossoms, which will refresh your mind and body.
