The city of Kuji was the setting of the NHK TV series Ama-chan, which aired from April 1 to September 28, 2013. Many scenes, including the Kosode Coast, were filmed in Kuji. 

The scenery as seen in the drama remains and is still visited by many Ama-chan fans. At each of the filming locations are Ama-chan billboards explaining the scenes that appeared in the show, which will draw you even more into the world of Ama-chan. 

At the station-front tourism exchange center, YOMUNOSU, dioramas and other items used in the filming of the movie are on display, and the cafe corner has floating glass lights that resemble the Cafe Rias from Ama-chan. You can enjoy sandwiches and drinks for just 500 yen.
