Usuki City's castle town walk (Nioza, Kani Shoyu, Kotegawa Brewery, etc.)
The Nioza area has retained the distinctive atmosphere of a castle town, and its narrow alleyways are lined with the remains of the massive gates of former samurai residences, white-walled storehouses, and historic temples of different sects.
Selected as one of Japan's top 100 cityscapes, one can admire views of Nioza from the second floor of the former Shinkoji Temple, an abandoned temple that has been renovated and is now open to the public as a free rest area. These views are representative of Usuki.
Usuki is also known for its deeply rooted fermentation and brewing culture for products such as miso, soy sauce, and sake, and it has been accredited as a member of the UNESCO Creative City of Gastronomy. Do explore the history and culinary culture of Usuki.
