Harima Province’s “Little Kyoto”
Tatsuno City, also known as Harima Province’s “Little Kyoto” , is a lovely city with a historical and tranquil atmosphere. Situated along the coast, quite a few of the attractions in the city come with a panorama view of the Seto Inland Sea, including a forest of plum blossoms. The city is also where you can learn about how soy sauce and the thin noodles known as sōmen were made hundreds of years ago.
Tatsuno has been a transportation hub since early times and its culture and industry including soy sauce and somen noodle production and the making of traditional leather items flourished alongside the Ibo River. The secret of Tatsuno’s beauty lies in the perfect combination of Mt. Keiro’s greenery, the pure stream of the Ibo River and the old traditional townscape. The town emanates poetic sentiment and has shined brightly during the course of its history.
Take a walk through the old castle town of Tatsuno たつの市 in west Hyogo. As this ancient samurai town unwinds at the base of Tatsuno Castle, you can discover nice little cafes, shops, shrines and unique places such as the Soy Sauce Museum. Tatsuno is a 500 year old town and many of the traditional buildings remain. This area is popular during the spring time as cherry blossoms line the street.
