Coria del Río, a charming town nestled near Seville, serves as a gateway to a fascinating past that whispers through the ancient photographs of Coria del Río.

It marked an epoch where cultural bridges began to form between Europe and Japan. Almost 650 residents proudly carry the surname Japón, a testament to their roots linked to the first Japanese official envoy to Spain.
