A small quiet village with an unexpected name

This is a place to switch off and enjoy a slower pace of life, ideal if you seek the tranquility of a rural setting. Daily life is very local and unhurried, and you might be surprised to learn its name comes from a Japanese port, given by a coal company long ago.

Light here · Romance

There aren't many options for a romantic getaway, as the village lacks fine dining restaurants or picturesque walkable areas; spa experiences are not available here.

Japan, dimension by dimension

Only the peaks are labelled — sixteen labels at this size is a grid, not a picture.
