【Private Tour】Explore the Cedar Town of Chizu, A Private Tour into the History of the Ishitani Family Residence
This tour is themed around the Japan Heritage story “Kirin no Machi.”
The main theme of the story is the wind blowing in from the Sea of Japan.
The landscapes and hidden scenic spots shaped by the wind—through sand, waves, and snow—and the traditional Kirin Lion Dance, which has been passed down through harsh seasonal winds, all form the narrative of this heritage.
During the tour, you will have opportunities to experience cultural assets that make up the Japan Heritage.
// Tour Theme of Chizu Post Town: “Treasures of Snow Nurtured by the Wind” //
Chizu prospered as a town known for its high-quality cedar, nurtured by heavy snowfall.
You will explore this historic post town with a guide, learning about its long-standing cedar culture dating back to the Edo period.
