Tamba-Sasayama

Among the cities of Hyogo Prefecture, Tamba-Sasayama is distinguished by its enduring castle-town character in the rural Tamba region. Set in the Sasayama Basin and encircled by low mountains, it is closely associated with agriculture, especially black soybeans and chestnuts. Sasayama Castle was commissioned by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1609, and its stone ramparts remain a defining feature of the town centre. The reconstructed Oinomaru Goten recalls the residence of the castle lord. In the Tachikui district, workshops continue the Tanba ware tradition, one of Japan’s Six Ancient Kilns.
