This is a calm castle town where people still live today. Feel the elegance and forget your busy daily life in a room in a spacious and quiet old house. This is the location of the film "The Father of the Milky Way Railroad", which was released in May 2023. The Manmoku Shoten shop also appears in the film. The scene in the second-hand bookstore in "Yakusho Koji-san" was filmed at this inn. You can get to the Iwamura Castle site on foot or by car.

When you walk along the main street at night, you will see a row of lanterns that look like paper lanterns, which is very magical.
