I Go To Tochigi City

Because Tochigi City escaped war damage during World War II, many historical temples, traditional shops and Japanese traditional storehouses "Kura" remain in the city center.

The city was awarded the "Utsukushii-machinami Taisho" prize from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in 2009.
