Kusatsu Town History Walkway Guide Course

A long time ago, Kusatsu was used as a military port, so it was called “Ikusatsu”, (Military's Kusatsu).

Kusatsu is a town with a history of more than a thousand years, and there are many shrines and temples that are well-known.
The Saigoku highway runs through the town, and in the Edo period, inns would flourished around here. It was crowded with guardhouses to control shipments of monopoly goods of the Hiroshima Domain (Miyoshi Domain at one time), and the Hamada Domain's funayashiki.
In addition, it was also a thriving area for oyster farming. An “oyster boat” created to gain popularity in the Osaka region made the Hiroshima's oysters become famous.
