A walk along the Momen Kaido

Why not stroll along the Momen Kaido with a guide who will show you the charms of the town? You can take a leisurely stroll along the Momen Kaido, where history and culture are strongly present. Known as a merchant town that prospered from the cotton trade from the Edo period to the Meiji period, this road is lined with houses with namako walls and Izumo lattice, and you can see architectural styles of great historical value. There are various sights where history and culture are alive, such as the “Motoishibashi Residence,” soy sauce and sake breweries that continue to preserve traditional flavors, and a long-established ginger candy store. Enjoy the charm of the Momen Kaido to the fullest while listening to stories that only a local guide can tell.
