It is best known for its well-preserved old town district, which has been called the "Little Edo" or "Edo of the West" because of its many buildings that were built during the Edo period. The cityscape is dominated by a large number of Kurazukuri (寺窓口) merchant houses, which are characterized by their black-tiled roofs and white walls. The city is also home to a large number of temples, shrines, and other historical buildings.
