A quiet town in the mountains

Shimonita is a very quiet and nice town that is not well known by tourists.

Most tourists visit large cities such as Tokyo and Kyoto, but there are many beautiful places in the Japanese countryside that are just as interesting as those in other large cities.

There are many attractions for tourists from overseas that may seem ordinary to the Japanese, but which can feels extraordinary.

Shimonita Town is a perfect place to explore a quiet, unseen Japan, with its mountains, shrines, and locally sourced food.
