Stroll through the preserved townscape of an important traditional building group district

About this spot

This townscape, designated as a nationally important traditional building group preservation district, retains strong remnants of a port town from the Edo period. Grid-patterned merchant houses, tea house architecture, and temples line the winding streets, telling the history of Obama, which prospered as a port for northern cargo ships. Walking slowly through narrow alleyways while reflecting on life during that era provides a good opportunity for families to experience Japan's historical and cultural heritage.
