Highlights & What to Do

A familiar spot from director Nobuhiko Obayashi’s film “The Girl Who Leapt Through Time.”
When the salt industry was thriving, this area was called Kami-ichi and Shimo-ichi.
Among these, Ebisu-do was enshrined as the guardian deity of commerce for the Kamiichi area.
The festival held every October to pray for commercial prosperity is an essential part of the town’s calendar.
