Kyotango

Kyotango lies along the Sea of Japan on Kyoto Prefecture’s northern coast, where the Tango Peninsula meets a shoreline of beaches, small coves and low wooded hills. Spread across several former towns, the city has a distinctly rural coastal character, far removed from the imperial streets of Kyoto City. Kyotango belongs to the historic Tango region, long associated with Tango chirimen, a refined crepe silk textile used in kimono fabric. Seaside hot springs, fishing ports and seasonal seafood remain part of daily life along this stretch of coast.
