Yuasa Town: Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings
Approx. a 15-minute walk from JR Yuasa Station, this Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings covers an area of about 400 m east-west and about 280 m north-south in one part of Yuasa Town. Lined with traditional townhouses and earthen storehouses that reflect the prosperity of soy sauce brewing-once the town’s key industry-you can feel an old-world atmosphere everywhere, as if you’ve stepped back in time.
It’s super quiet here, and you can smell a light hint of soy sauce all along the street. So soothing. I heard Yuasa is the birthplace of Japanese soy sauce—no wonder the whole town smells so good〜😍
