Kuranomachi

I noticed Kura style buildings everywhere.

Kitakata developed in the Edo era as a distribution point of local goods. It is also on the former Yonezawa kaidou (major road) linking two major towns of Aizu-wakamatsu and Yonezawa in Yamagata Prefe...

there's a city in kitakata.

At the tourist information center at Kitakata Station, I got a map of the city and took a walk around the town of Kura. From around Wakaki Shoten, there are shops with warehouses. The cityscape with ODA across the river is also lined with old warehouses, and you can enjoy walking around the city.

Fun walking

Original Text

Ramen became famous, but it is a town famous for its warehouse. It's fun to take a walk and see various buildings, but it's far from the station and scattered around, so it may be tough to walk.

There aren't many tourists, are there?

Original Text

I went there during the cold season, so there weren't many tourists. Kitakata became famous for ramen, but I wonder if this warehouse street is the real figure of Kitakata. Compared to Kawagoe, there are fewer people and you can travel in memory of the past. It's time travel. It's fun.

A town that feels nostalgic

Original Text

Kitakata ramen has become famous, and the image of the warehouse town has faded, but the warehouse town is still alive. Many warehouse-style buildings remain on Fureai-dori and Otazuki-kura-dori, reminiscent of the atmosphere of the past. Sake, miso, soy sauce, etc. are popular, and heavy Dozo-zukuri buildings such as sake breweries and miso breweries are lined up.
