A wooden bell-tower that still rings today
While there are quite a few places across Japan where you can experience a feudal Japan cityscape, not many still have a functioning bell tower. The Toki no Kane was first built in 1634, and was burnt down due to fires a few times, and the current structure dates back to 1893.
Till today, the bell tower still functions, ringing 4 times a day at 6am, 12pm, 3pm and 6pm. Be sure to plan your visit around these timings so that you can experience this wonderful soundscape.
