Stroll Through the Historic Warehouse District - Tochigi's "Little Edo"

About this spot

Tochigi City's center, which prospered as a river transport hub during the Edo period, still features numerous black-lacquered earthen storehouses and merchant houses. Known as the "Little Edo of Kanto," this charming town is perfect for leisurely strolling along the scenic Uzuma River. Pleasure boats offer views of the buildings from the river, and scattered traditional sweet shops and cafes provide opportunities for refreshment breaks.

Tips

About 20 minutes by car from Michi-no-Eki Nishikata. The town is flat and easy to walk, even with strollers. Note that some streets have limited shade in summer, so plan frequent breaks.

Best time to visit

Allow approximately 1 hour 10 minutes. Afternoon light beautifully illuminates the river surface and white-walled storehouses.
