Hizen Hamashuku Sake Brewery Street (肥前浜宿酒蔵通り)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A district in Hamamachi, Kashima City, where a townscape spanning the Edo through Showa eras has been handed down. The street lined with large white-walled sake breweries is called Sakagura-dori, or Sake Brewery Street, and it conveys well how the town looked when it flourished as a brewing town. Venture a little further and there is a corner where thatched-roof townhouses continue, and the way the character changes from street to street is what makes walking here interesting. The roads are flat and the distances short, so families with children can go round without strain. Its advantage is being close to Kita Park and Yutoku Inari Shrine, so you can drop in easily during the morning.

Tips

Sightseeing here is mainly a stroll while looking at the exteriors, and walking around is free. People still live along these streets, so agree with your children not to enter the grounds of the buildings and not to raise their voices. There is little shade during summer days, so wrapping up in 30 minutes to an hour is more comfortable. Some sections are narrow, so watch out for passing cars as you walk.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 5 minutes. Just right for a short stroll before lunch, leading straight on to the meal
