In the late 16th century, the city was a thriving marketplace that serviced all the villages in the area.
In fact the literal translation of Imaichi, "present marketplace," is a tribute to that heritage.
There is the Imaichi Folklore Museum for those interested in the history of the Cedar Road as well as various shrines, such as the Takino Shrine, established by Shodo Shonin, and dedicated to the gods that protect the city.
