Stroll through streets where traces of once-thriving merchant townhouses remain
About this spot
Gotsu's old town center, with a history of prosperity through water transport on the Gonokawa River. Along streets where boat warehouses and merchant houses once lined up, historic buildings still stand today, offering a peaceful town walk. Not a flashy tourist destination, but a calm strolling spot where you can feel the history of a town that developed alongside a great river. In a summer afternoon, it's just right for walking at a leisurely pace.

Turn this into a day plan with stall time includedTips
Approximately 10 minutes by car from Michi no Eki Sampico Gotsutsu. The streets are flat and easy to walk, but during summer there's little shade, so an umbrella or hat is reassuring. For the next destination, Gonokawa Riverbank Park, traveling by car is convenient.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour required. In the soft afternoon light, the streets appear especially charming.
