About 1 hour from Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe! Tamba Sasayama. It is also known as a ``treasure trove of ingredients'' and is rich in ingredients grown by the rich nature, such as Tamba black soybeans, Tamba chestnuts, and Tamba Sasayama beef. Botan nabe, a local dish made with wild boar, is also a specialty of Tamba Sasayama. Stroll through the beautiful streets of Kawaramachi and Fukuzumi districts, which have been designated as nationally important preservation districts for groups of traditional buildings, and you'll feel like you've traveled back in time. Touring the town of Tanba ware, which has been around for 850 years, is also popular!
