Stroll through the townscape that retains echoes of the Hokuriku Route post town

About this spot

This district preserves the townscape that flourished as a post town on the Hokuriku Route during the Edo period and later developed as a center for sericulture. The street lined with traditional merchant houses featuring fire walls called "udatsu" and latticed doors is designated as a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings, allowing you to stroll through a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. Walking along the street where irrigation channels murmur, you'll feel as if you've stepped back in time to the Edo and Meiji periods.
