Maizuru

A Timeless and Retro Port Town
In the beautiful stretch of coastal scenery in northern Kyoto prefecture, Maizuru was originally a fishing village before turning into one of the most important naval bases in all of Japan.

Maizuru has two different sides. Western Maizuru is home to a castle town with a traditional atmosphere. The eastern side has a historical port and modern buildings. Red-brick structures can be found throughout Maizuru, which developed as a port town in the modern age. In particular, the red-bricked warehouses at Maizuru Brick Park are brimming with retro charm and have also been designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan.

Most of the seaside areas are ria coast. Therefore, this place has many great and fresh seafood from Sea of Japan. Also, those ria coast creat such a beautiful scenery. If you’re in the area of Tango province, one of the Three Views of Japan of Amanohashidate is an hour drive away. Walk along the narrow, pine-covered sandbar, or view it from an observatory to understand why it’s called the “Bridge to Heaven”.
