Tatsunoya (Main Shop)
Established in 1697, you can experience a slice of Japan during the Edo Period (1603-1867) at this historical soy sauce shop. Strictly using traditional methods, soy sauces such as the "Sannnen Soy Sauce" are made by slowly aging domestic whole soybeans for a period of three years. Others, such as the "Sashimi Soy Sauce," are made by adding koji (rice malt) back into raw soy sauce to bring out its rich aroma. Soy sauces sold here are all-natural and do not contain any additives.

Misaki Otoriten Umara Rest Area
"An open-air restaurant like an oasis for anglers located on the banks of the Chikusa River. The salt-baked sweetfish is grilled slowly over binchotan, high-grade charcoal, so the entire fish is edible from head to tail. If you are lucky, natural extra-large eels may be on the menu. The restaurant is open during the sweetfish fishing season, so please call in advance to confirm."

Seirinji Temple
"This temple of the Omuro school of the Shingon sect is said to have been founded in 740 by Gyoki Bosatsu, the founder of the Shingon sect. The fresh greenery in early summer and the autumn leaves in fall are well-worth seeing."

If you're looking to enjoy some delicious sushi with the family, this is the place! The restaurant also provides catering and in-house banquet services.

Chikusa River
The Chikusa River has been selected as one of the 100 most beautiful waters in Japan. Every year during peak season, the river is often seen crowded with fishermen.
