    Hyougo Pref. Toyokashi Izushichouchimachi
    This clock tower is in the Toyooka City Izushi Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings in Izushi-cho, Toyooka City. Originally it was built as a drum tower in 1871 during the period when they were used to announce the time. It was converted in 1881 when a large clock was donated. It's been restored three times and is now a symbol of the town.

    ツアーのフリータイム、100分の間に訪問しました。1871年に時刻を知らせる太鼓を叩く櫓として設置され、1881年に、医師の池口氏が時計を寄付してからは、日本最古の時計台として親しまれているそうです。和風の時計台という感じがします。

Hyogo prefecture stretches from the north coast to the south coast on the western end of the popular Kansai region, encompassing verdant mountains, urban beaches, and fantastic historical sights. The prefecture’s main attractions lie along the south coast at Kobe, the prefectural capital, a pretty harbor city best known for its production of the renowned Kobe beef, and Himeji, the home of Himeji Castle, one of the country’s most beautifully preserved feudal castles, perched magically atop a hill.
