Tsushima City has long flourished as a temple town for Tsushima Shrine. The history and culture of this prosperous temple town continue to be passed down to the present day, with various important cultural properties and cultural heritage remaining. The old townscape also remains, giving a sense of the atmosphere of the time. The Owari Tsushima Tenno Festival, a festival with a long tradition dating back 500 years, is still held today and attracts many people every year. One of Tsushima City's specialties is the famous confectionery "Kutsuwa Akada," which has long been known as a souvenir. It is a simple specialty made from fried rice flour, but it is said to ward off evil spirits and is still popular as a souvenir today. Another specialty is kabayaki catfish, which has been eaten since ancient times.
