Shibata
7.9
Lower score (below 6)
Shibata has a restored castle keep and a sake-brewing tradition that puts it on the domestic cultural tourism map, which is the ceiling of its appeal. The city is a typical small Japanese provincial center — functional, locally self-contained, completely opaque to outsiders. For a foreign man there is no entry point into the social fabric; you are an observer at best. The castle grounds are worth an hour.
