The perfect accompaniment to this atmosphere is the exquisite sight of people wearing beautiful kimonos. As you walk through the town, you can gracefully sway your kimono and enjoy the evocative scenery that evokes a bygone era. At designated photo spots, your kimono-clad figure will blend seamlessly with the townscape, allowing you to capture captivating photographs.

Situated atop a steep cliff, the castle's fortifications are considered a masterpiece of castle architecture from that era. The distinctive features include a triple-tiered bailey and impressive stone walls. The castle's keep (tenshu) has been designated as a National Treasure.
Sado Experience Sado(Japanese tea ceremony) is one of the most representative traditional cultures of Japan. Beyond its aesthetic beauty and meticulous etiquette, Sado embodies the Japanese aesthetic sensibility and spirituality. Highly recommended experiencing the world of the tea ceremony to gain a deeper appreciation for Japanese culture.
