    Fukushima Kitakata-shi 3-4786
    "These are the first brick warehouses built in Kitakata, and date back to 1904. They include three-story equipment stores and two-story zashikigura (tatami-room style) warehouses at the back of Wakaki Shoten, a soy sauce and miso maker that dates back to 1755. Kitakata, famous as a brick town, built many brick warehouses due to a big fire in 1880. The brick zashikigura offers a Western atmosphere even as it holds a traditional Japanese tatami room inside. The first floor ""Shimagaki no Ma"" is completely done in striped persimmon wood, including the ceilings, trim, pillars, and even the hibachi pot trimmings. The second floor is the ""Keyaki no Ma"", and is outfitted with luxurious fittings of Japanese zelkova wood."
