Taishi, Administrative town in Ibo district, Hyogo Prefecture, Japan
Taishi is a town in Ibo district, Hyogo Prefecture, positioned between Tatsuno and Himeji cities. The landscape includes the Otsumo River and geographical features such as Dantoku Hill.
The region traces back to the Nara period when Prince Shotoku received an estate here following his lecture on the Lotus Sutra. This early connection established the area's long-standing importance.
The Asuka Hall serves as a performance space where local and visiting artists present various shows throughout the year. Visitors can experience different forms of artistic expression in this community venue.
The town is accessible by rail through the Sanyo Shinkansen and Sanyo Main Line near Aboshi Station. National highways pass through the area, making it convenient for car travel.
A local history museum displays artifacts from the mid-1800s alongside a vintage locomotive from the early 1900s. This exhibition brings together objects from different eras in one place.
