Sato Issai Manabi no Hiroba is a museum dedicated to Sato Issai, a Confucian scholar and philosopher of the late Edo period born in Iwamura. Through exhibits on his life, writings, and ideas, visitors gain insight into the intellectual traditions that shaped Japanese thought and continue to influence modern society.

The Iwamura Hon-dori Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings preserves the historic heart of Iwamura, a former castle town in Ena City, Gifu Prefecture. Lined with traditional merchant houses, namako walls, and narrow streets, this district reflects the town’s role as a center of commerce and daily life during the Edo period. Walking along Hon-dori offers visitors a rare opportunity to experience a townscape that has been carefully protected, where architectural details and street layouts continue to convey the atmosphere of a traditional Japanese castle town.
