Tambasasayama is a town full of history and tradition. In the center of Tambasasayama City is the ruins of Sasayama Castle. Today, the magnificent stone walls still remain as they were back then, and the castle townscape extends around them. The townscape and culture of Tambasasayama are strongly influenced by Kyoto, and if you actually walk around the castle town, you are sure to find Kyoto-like townscapes here and there.
What is "Noto no Megumi Rice"?
This is so-called environmental conservation rice, which is rice that is kind to the environment and living things, and that preserves the rich soil and water of Tambasasayama City and is environmentally friendly. The initiative began in 2019, and the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides is reduced to less than half of the Hyogo Prefecture standard, with consideration given to the water quality of rivers and the ecosystem around the rice fields. By delaying the rice planting time, the ears of rice will be delayed on high humidity days (late July), and the rice harvest in mid-September is delayed as much as possible to delay drainage, thereby improving the quality of the rice. The number of farmers growing rice in the city is increasing year by year, and the safe and secure rice production that is characteristic of Tambasasayama is spreading while valuing the natural environment and living things of Tambasasayama.
National School Lunch Koshien
Tambasasayama City is known for its delicious school lunches, having won the National School Lunch Koshien in 2019 and again receiving the Excellence Award in 2020. From 2021, all rice used in school lunches will be "Noto no Megumi Rice." With the hope that the children who will lead the future will grow up healthy, the city uses safe and secure rice that is considerate of the natural environment.

About Tambasasayama City, Hyogo Prefecture
Tambasasayama City, a town surrounded by mountains in the central-eastern part of Hyogo Prefecture, has flourished since ancient times as a key transportation route from the western part of the country to Kyoto. The influence of Kyoto culture is still evident in the townscape and festivals with parades of floats. In addition, the unique climate and geography, including the temperature difference between day and night that is typical of the basin and the "Tanba fog" that occurs from autumn to winter, have nurtured many agricultural products, including the nationally famous "Tambasasayama black beans," allowing you to enjoy the flavors of the four seasons.
