This small fishing village is framed by dramatic sea cliffs and lush forests, where the air carries the scent of salt and pine. Explore ancient Shinto shrines nestled among mossy boulders, or hike the coastal trails that reveal panoramic views of the Pacific. Local life centers around the harbor, where fishermen haul in fresh catches of squid and sea urchin. In spring, cherry blossoms line the quiet streets, while autumn paints the hills in fiery hues. Furukamaya is perfect for travelers seeking authentic rural Japan, away from tourist crowds. Savor freshly grilled seafood at a family-run izakaya, soak in a rustic onsen overlooking the sea, or join a traditional taiko drumming session. The village's slow pace and warm hospitality make it an unforgettable destination for those who venture off the beaten path.",[10,13,16],{"key":11,"value":12},"Police","110",{"key":14,"value":15},"Ambulance","119",{"key":17,"value":15},"Fire",[19,22,25,28,31,34,37,40],{"key":20,"value":21},"Do I need a visa?","Visa-free for many nationalities up to 90 days.
