Venice, Japan is beautiful and quiet.

This place has cherry blossoms in spring, red leaves in autumn and quiet and romantic snow in winter. Therefore, it is called one of the most beautiful towns in Japan. Egan Town, known as Venice, Japan, is located in Egan Bay, Kyoto Prefecture. The most distinctive feature of the town is the boathouse built by the water, with 230 seats. It is said that it was built in the edo period. These wooden buildings are divided into upper and lower floors. The lower floor is similar to a garage, where residents park their boats. It leads directly to the sea, and upstairs is the living room. These boathouses are also protected areas of "important traditional buildings". They are protected by law and will not be easily allowed to be rebuilt or even demolished. But now the demand for fishing is not as good as before, so many boathouses have been transformed into hotels and canteens to develop tourism. Egan Town is famous for its fresh seafood because it faces the Sea of Japan. People can enjoy all kinds of seafood in restaurants and homestays here. When you leave, you can also choose to go to the specialty store to buy some pickled products and dry goods. The quality is very good and the price is very satisfactory. If you want to come to this "Venice, Japan" and feel the beautiful scenery, you can come from Kyoto or Osaka, which is only about two and a half hours' drive.
