This
company is located in Funatsu, Himeji, and manufactures
roof-tiles for castles, temples and shrines. They produce
tiles for many local cultural heritages sites such as Himeji
Castle, Engyoji Temple on Mt.
Shosha and Hiromine
Shrine. We can find their skilled works at a pagoda in
London and a monument in Phoenix, Arizona. Their big decorative
tiles shaped
like a dolphin at Himeji Castle are famous, and you can
see the historical
dolphin-shaped tiles from the Edo era at their factory.
They make long-lasting
tiles which survive for hundreds of years.
Okonomiyaki is
a food somewhat like pizza. You can order meat, sea food
or noodles on top and you eat it with a special source. You
will enjoy watching how the lady
at the counter cooks them in front of you. She has been
running this restaurant business for nearly 50 years, and
this place is always busy with local
people.
