Koyagawa Bikan Historical Quarter
Takahashi City
Precious history and beautiful scenery carefully preserved
Cherry and willow trees lining the Koya River create an especially beautiful sight in season. The Doll Festival takes place during the cherry blossom season at the beginning of April.
The traditional townscape along this river includes the oldest church in Okayama Prefecture, and the street is included in the list of 100 Great Streets in Japan. The atmosphere of the area evokes the past, a time of prosperity for the town surrounding Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, known as the castle in the sky.
