An interesting local fact is that Yaotsu is the birthplace of Dr. Chiune Sugihara, the Japanese diplomat who issued life-saving visas to thousands of Jewish refugees during World War II, an act of courage remembered at the nearby Sugihara Chiune Memorial Hall. The region is also a gateway to the stunning natural landscapes of the Kiso Valley and the Central Alps.
