Its core appeal lies in historic temples, handmade washi paper workshops, and immersive tea ceremony experiences, ideal for cultural explorers.
Must-see spots include Nishio Castle Ruins Park for panoramic views, the Edo-era Yahagi Shrine, and matcha workshops for tea-making sessions. The Nishio City History & Folklore Museum details local tea culture, while sunset walks along the Yahagi River are highly recommended.
Indulge in matcha desserts like soft-serve ice cream and daifuku mochi. Seasonal Ayu sweetfish dishes and unique matcha soba noodles are local specialties. Don't miss trying ochazuke (tea-infused rice porridge) at century-old teahouses.
