Uomachi faces the calm Enoura Bay and has been a fishing town since long ago. It prospered in the past asa place of accommodation for pilgrims and as a harbor for ships sheltering from the wind. In the town, which has shops selling dried fish and other seafood, there are historical temples and shrines such as Nagashima-jinja, Choraku-ji and Bukko-ji, and also the unusual vertical lift-style Enoura-bashi Bridge, and the looping Enoura ohashi Bridge, so visitors can touch the history, culture and scenery of this area.
