Famous for its itakura warehouses where traditionally, food was stored for villagers in case the houses went on fire. These are now protected as structures of historical and architectural importance.
The views of the rice terraces and myriad of flora and fauna makes Tanekura an essential destination for wildlife enthusiasts and those looking for some peace and quiet.
