Hattoji Furusato Village

Nicknamed 'Western Koyasan Mountain' for its dense concentration of Buddhist heritage, this village in the hills of Bizen, Okayama preserves a remarkable cluster of historic structures. The nationally designated three-story pagoda, traditional farmhouses converted into accommodation, and temple halls dating back centuries create an atmospheric retreat. Walking trails connect the sites through peaceful woodland, offering a glimpse of rural Japan's spiritual heritage.
