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. Initiating its rich history, the town played a pivotal role in the 17th century with the visit of Hasekura Tsunenaga, a delegation from Japan. 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.
