From the 16th century, castle towns gave birth to new forms of craft, copperware, pottery, and carving, which became famous. The geography includes the coastline of the Sea of Japan with its fresh seafood, and mountains and rivers surround lands famous for the production of Hida beef, Himi beef, and the best Ayu fish in Japan.
