Numerous woodcarving workshops line the atmospheric stone-paved streets of Yokamachi-dori street, where the clack of wooden mallets resounds. Woodcarvings can be found all over, from the phone booths to the bus stops, filling the town with an artistic air. People often come to drop by one of the many woodcarving workshops or Zuisen-ji Temple, which is the origin of Inamiʼs 250-year-old woodcarving techniques, to experience the town’s traditional craftsmanship. The nearby Shogawa River sightseeing cruise also offers spectacular views of the region’s seasonal landscapes.
