This street retains the atmosphere of the Edo and Meiji periods when Esashi prospered so much from herring fishing that it was said "Esashi's May surpasses even Edo." Lined along the coast are the mansions and storehouses of wealthy merchants, including the Former Nakamura Residence, designated as an Important Cultural Property, offering glimpses of the former prosperity. This is the course's premier sight where you can feel the history of Esashi's development as a port town.
Tips
Within walking distance from Omakami Daijingu Shrine. Viewing the Former Nakamura Residence requires an admission fee. In summer, sun exposure is strong along the coast, so a hat or umbrella is recommended.
Best time to visit
About 1 hour. Early afternoon is ideal for leisurely viewing.
