A nationally designated preservation district of white-walled merchant houses built on Takehara's Edo-period salt and sake trade. The official Tamayura map puts several locations inside or beside it, including the Former Kasai Residence, Shoukei Plaza, Okakae Jizo and Ebisu-do. The streets are free to walk; individual houses keep their own hours, and one of them is closed to the public.

Please be a considerate guest: keep your voice down, keep paths clear and leave the place as you found it.
