Aichi Pref. Tokonameshi Sakaemachi

This walking path, which runs from the east side of Tokoname Station on the Meitetsu Airport Line and is brimming with history, has been chosen as one of “beautiful Japan’s top quasi 100 historical experiences.” There are two courses: the 1.6-kilometer A Course and 4-kilometer B Course. The A Course contains rows of workshops with brick chimneys and ovens, and the hilly section of the road utilizes discarded pottery materials. The B Course features an archive, a pottery research facility, and other such sites. Both are full of interesting sights and shopping opportunities.

Said to make young people fall in love, this Shinto shrine is dedicated to Mitsuhanome-no-kami, a water goddess who legends connect with Emperor Ingyo, the 19th emperor of the early fifth century Yamato Court, and who is also said to have appeared in the Heian period.

The shrine’s heart-shaped ema votive tablets are unique and cute.

パワースポットとして紹介されており、神社の名前や水色の鳥居から何となく、最近創られた地域振興（町興し）系の場所かと思いましたが、由来を見る限り732年に聖武天皇の皇后の病を治癒する際に使用された水ということで由緒はある様です。また平安時代の「桜姫の悲恋伝説」と呼ばれる、恋人の病を治す為に京都からこの地まで旅してきたが、水まで辿り着けずに桜姫が亡くなった・・・という伝説もある様です。訪れるには場...

Aichi Areas

Aichi is a prefecture of great natural beauty with Nagoya city at its heart, a busy hub home to a labyrinth of underground shops and the 17th-century Nagoya Castle. Castles are easy to find in this history-rich prefecture, but the highlight for history buffs has to be the Museum Meiji-mura, where preserved buildings from the turn of the 20th century are displayed in all their grandeur in an outdoor museum.
