Katori, in Chiba Prefecture, is home to Katori Shrine and the historic merchant town of Sawara, whose canal-lined streets are designated a Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings and recognised as part of Japan Heritage. Sawara is also counted among the "three Little Edos" of Japan. The waterway setting gives the town centre a walkable character, with cafés and restaurants along the old merchant streetscape.
