Thought of as the land of Emperor Godaigo, Mt. Senjo, as well as many other places in Kotoura have their names etched in history. Voted as one of Japan’s best waterfalls, Daisen falls, and the thousand year old tree, Kyoboku (big tree) are just some of the reasons that Kotoura is thought of as a place where one can experience enchanting natural beauty. If one faces north there lies the great blue Japan Sea. Its coasts boast the most fishing ports of the Sanin region, making the Akasaki area deluxe spot for those wanting to buy or eat fresh seafood. Truthfully, the blessing of the sea, and the mountains make Kotoura attractive on a grand scale.
