Kasashima Town Residences

Kasashima Town Residences, located on the northeastern coast of Honjima Island, offers a glimpse into Japan's Edo Period. This beautifully preserved port town was a hub for trade and shipbuilding. Strolling through narrow stone streets, visitors can admire twenty traditional wooden townhouses, with three of them open to the public displaying household items from the past. The charming town provides an authentic, historical experience of life during the 1600s to 1868.

For a deeper dive into the area's history, visit the ruins of Kasashima Castle. The castle was once a commanding structure overlooking the Seto Inland Sea, and though only a monument remains, the hilltop offers picturesque views of the surrounding forested area and coastline. Together, these highlights make Kasashima Town a must-visit destination for history lovers and those interested in traditional Japanese architecture.
