Mikuni-Minato Retro
Mikuni Minatomachi prospered as a trading center for Kitamae-bune merchant ships from the Edo period (1603-1868) to the Meiji period (1868-1912). Even today, the town still retains an "Old Japan" atmosphere with its rows of latticework townhouses and the traces of wealthy merchants, and you can experience the history and charm of Mikuni-Minato more deeply by signing up for a walking tour.
The Mikuni-Minato Machiya-kan, located on Mikuni-Minato Kitamae Street, can be used as a rest stop for visitors walking around the town, and rental bicycles are available for rent, allowing visitors to take a leisurely stroll through the retro townscape that traces the prosperity of bygone days.
