Manzoji Temple

Manzoji Temple's stone gate, cherry gate, and mountain gate are unique in that they are built in a straight line. Among them, the magnificent Sanmon gate, built by Kesen carpenters using their skills, is said to be the best in Kesen County. There is a fan-shaped bell tower in the precincts, and the main hall boasts the style of the late Tokugawa period.

Sumita Town Folklore Museum

This museum was built in 1985 by moving the former Kamiariju Elementary School, which was built in the early Showa era architectural style, to its current location. The exhibition room is divided into ``Lifestyle'' and ``People's Work'' corners, which introduce a wide range of topics such as local performing arts, popular beliefs, agriculture, and the village of Kesen carpenters.

Takikan Cave

``Ama no Iwato Waterfall'' falls from a crack in the marble inside the limestone cave. With a height of 29m and a width of 1m, it is one of the largest waterfalls in Japan. The place where the waterfall is located is a cave dome with a circumference of 50 meters and a height of 60 meters, and the sound of the waterfall reverberates inside the dome. There is also a restaurant outside the limestone cave where you can eat the famous ``Taki Nagashi Soba'' that flows from a long bamboo tube. *Taki Nagashi Soba is currently closed due to demolition work being carried out due to the construction of a new facility. (Scheduled to reopen in April 2020)
