Wakasa Town
Located about an hour and a half from central Kyoto, this area is home to the Japan Agricultural Heritage site "Mikata Five Lakes," the "Tsunegami Peninsula," which has the highest number of traditional fishing inns in Japan, and "Kumagawa-juku," the first post town in the country to be selected as a Japan Heritage Premium site. It is a town where nature and history beautifully blend together.

Takahama Town
Located just two hours by car from the Keihanshin area (Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe) and one hour from Amanohashidate or Tsuruga, Takahama offers a perfect getaway. Home to the first beach in Asia to receive the environmental "Blue Flag" certification, its crystal-clear waters are stunning. You can also enjoy Mt. Aoba, known as "Wakasa Fuji," a treasure trove of medicinal herbs. With both the sea and mountains, the town offers picturesque scenery, local gourmet cuisine, and a variety of relaxing activities.
