Saku City is the most landlocked area in Japan and is a little-known destination. It is not a tourist city so many people do not know about its treasures. If you come, please respect the locals and the customs.
Additional information: It is also known for centuries old style Sake Brewing and there is a special tour you can take here (possible future feature). You can also stay and learn how to make sake.
