Over
Korte feiten: Nakamachi Street features over 50 Edo-period storehouses with thick clay walls designed to withstand fires. This street has maintained its historic charm while hosting modern cafes and artisan shops within century-old structures.
Hoogtepunten: Walk under the traditional white clay walls that are at least 60 centimeters thick, protecting the old wooden storehouses. Lanterns with old shop logos hang overhead, creating an atmosphere that transports visitors back 300 years.
Insidertips
- Wear comfortable shoes as the street is cobblestoned but easy to walk.
- Photograph the lanterns close to sunset for warm light contrasts with white clay walls.
- Avoid weekends to explore shops without crowds, especially in spring and autumn.
- Skip overly touristy souvenir stalls near the main entrance and explore deeper lanes for unique finds.
