Tamba-Sasayama, Historic castle town in Hyogo Prefecture, Japan
The mountainous basin of Tamba-Sasayama extends across 493 square kilometers, containing traditional Japanese architecture and agricultural landscapes at 400 meters elevation.
The area gained prominence during the Edo period when Tokugawa Ieyasu ordered the construction of Sasayama Castle in 1609 as a defensive point between Kyoto and Himeji.
The Dekansho Festival in August features traditional Bon dancing, where participants perform choreographed movements while singing folk songs about local customs and life.
The JR West Fukuchiyama Line connects Tamba-Sasayama to major cities, with trains departing regularly from Sasayamaguchi Station to Osaka and Kyoto.
Five restored historical buildings across town function as individual hotel villas, allowing visitors to sleep in different architectural structures from various periods.
