When I visited the Sankyo Soko storehouses, the long row of old rice warehouses lined up beside the majestic zelkova-lined path created such an amazing atmosphere. Every casual photo looked like a movie still.
Walking through the area, I could really feel how prosperous Sakata once was as a major rice hub, and I also appreciated the charm of these historic buildings being preserved to this day.

Kosode Ama Center
This tourist facility is located on Kosode Beach, a scenic spot with various oddly shaped rocks scattered along the coastline.
Because of NHK’s morning drama "Amachan," I made a special trip to visit the Kosode Ama Center in Kuji. Not only can you get an up-close look at the ama divers’ weathered tools and diving suits, but the exhibits also let you feel their strength and resilience as they battle the sea.
