Tenei Village

The most iconic historical landscape of the village.
It has a history of 1200 years since its opening during the Heian period.
Founded in the late Edo period, it is designated as a registered tangible cultural property of the country.
 

Onabe Shrine is deeply connected to the shadowy part of Japanese history, the 'Legend of the Heike's Refugees'.
About 800 years ago, the Heike clan, defeated in the Genpei War, is said to have hidden here.
The name comes from their vow to rise again, burying their important weapons and treasures in a 'large pot'.
Due to the legend that digging up the 'large pot' would bring a curse, it has been preserved for hundreds of years without being disturbed.
This is the most mysterious spot in the village.

It is characterized by its sweetness that increases the more you chew, and it remains chewy and delicious even when cooled.
You can enjoy Tenei Rice meals and rice balls at the roadside station 'Kinosato Tenei' and local eateries.
 

It resembles sweet potatoes in appearance, but its insides and taste are completely different, making it a mysterious vegetable.
When eaten raw, it has a crunchy texture similar to pears, with a subtle sweetness.
It is highly nutritious and has an incredible effect on improving digestive health.
The best season is winter, so it can be enjoyed most deliciously during that time.

You can experience canoeing at Lake Hatori.
The gentle flow makes it perfect for beginners and families with children.
