Stroll Through Historic Streetscape of White-Walled Earthen Storehouses and Shop for Souvenirs
About this spot
Also called "Edo-Tochigi," this historic streetscape is lined with white-walled earthen storehouses and traditional merchant houses. Built during the prosperous era of boat-based commerce from the Edo through Meiji periods, the atmosphere of this thriving trading town endures. Longstanding shops, cafes, and souvenir stores dot the street. A leisurely walk along the canal-side street lets you savor the calm elegance unique to Kura-no-Machi.
