Scholar and poet Hirose Tanso opened Japan's largest school of Confusianism in the Shogunate land of Hita during the Edo Period. Designated a historical landmarek in 1932, dwellings and study rooms built during the Edo Period are well preserved and open to the public. Visitors can also take a tour of a book storehouse built in 1890.

A beautiful park full of verdant green that spreads out along the Mikuma River. The name Kameyama means Turtle Mountain, named so because the river running alongside it resembles a turtle shell from above. Quaint onsen hot spring ryokans line its perimeter, giving it a traditional feel. With great access to Hita, it's a perfect spot to start a leisurely cycling journey.
