Farming Culture Flourishes Amongst Sacred Mountains

Watch slideshow

Buzen City is a land teeming with nature from the sea to the mountains. To the east lies the Sea of Buzen, and to the west, a mountainous region known for its sacred Shugendo mountains, such as Mt. Hiko and Mt. Kubote. The Iwaya district, home to green tourism initiatives, is also a certified forest therapy area where visitors can enjoy the quiet mountain atmosphere and the slow passage of time.
