Shopping Street・Townscape・Promenade

Zogasaki, comprising the Japanese heritage site "Treasure House of Scenic Beauty Wakanoura". The view of the densely built houses along the slopes of the coastline is reminiscent of Amalfi in Italy. Slender alleys and stairways creep into it like a maze, and every walk you can meet the scenery of a Japanese fishing village somewhere nostalgic.
