Tokubetsu Japan operates out of Sennan-Shi, a small town on the border of the Wakayama and Osaka Prefectures, with a total population of around 50,000 people.
The town was originally built as a resting place for the Shogun (Lord) of the Tokogawa area and his warriors. The original monastery built for the Shogun over 300 years ago still stands to this day. The houses on the main street of the town, like the monastery, were built around this time during the Edo period of Feudal Japan. These houses were original built as inns for travelers moving between the fishing villages of Wakayama and the main towns of Osaka, Nara and Kyoto. Because of this, the town retains a vibrant tourist economy for those seeking to experience how Japan once was.
