Souvenir Shopping from a Brewing Town and Rest Time

About this spot

A tourism and exchange plaza near the entrance to Nijo-za, with "Sala" meaning "living room" in Portuguese. It features displays and tourism information reflecting on the era of Otomo Sorin, who prospered through Southern Barbarian trade, making it perfect for reviewing castle town history as the finishing touch to your town walk. The facility also has a rest area where you can comfortably relax your feet after walking the stone-paved streets. Usuki is known as a town where miso and soy sauce brewing thrives, and the souvenir lineup—including the town's famous sweet Usuki senbei crackers and kabosu processed products—makes souvenir shopping enjoyable. As you linger in the afterglow of the stone pavement, take memories of your journey home.

Tips

Since it also functions as a tourist information center, ask staff for additional information about spots that interest you. Souvenirs tend to be jars of soy sauce and miso, so an eco-bag is convenient. It's also a convenient spot for a final rest before heading back to the parking area.
