The region is rich in history and culture. An interesting local fact is that the town is home to the production of Nishijima Washi, a traditional Japanese paper with over 450 years of history. The closest major tourist attraction is the historic Minobusan Kuon-ji Temple, the head temple of the Nichiren sect of Buddhism, which has been a focal point of faith for over 700 years.
