Inuyama's Most Beautiful Feature, the Human Touch of Its People.

A cavalcade of Instagrammable foods, one after the other, brings energy to this old castle town. But what really impressed me was the humanity and culture of Inuyama.

For example, the textile store Kinunoyakata Takumi sells traditional silk fabric. The shop owner's wife takes English classes weekly so she can introduce visitors from overseas to the beauty of Inuyama. She told me about a little-known spot to see early-blooming cherry blossoms and told me the story of Inuyama's famous Inuyama Hot Dog.

At Fujisawa Seika, the shop owner's wife smiled as she explained the architecture of the store, how it was designated as a cultural property, and explained to me the history of Genkotsu.

Both are residents of Inuyama who desire to pass their stories on to visitors who may only have one chance to visit their beloved town.

Inuyama is a small yet popular tourist destination. The town has deep cultural roots and is very popular among women. Centrip hopes that you too will visit and see the beauty that Inuyama has on offer.
