In the north of the town, 200m from the ocean, is a small "lacquerware production village" for tourists. In it, a chain of 8 artisans required to produce a rice bowl are illustrating their jobs and explaining it to visitors. A translator for non-Japanese is also available. The location is directly west to the Juzo shrine.
A little out east, there is a great "lantern hall". Lantern means carry-able by up to 80 men and up to 15m in size not been in use for a while; since electrical lines came up, they are generally restricted to 6m. Once a year a big festival is held where all the quarters of the town compete with each other on who has the best lantern.
