    "This historic townscape is located in Hatcho-cho, Okazaki City. It is also known as Hatcho Kuradori (warehouse street). Originally a settlement called Hatcho-mura, the name of the district stem from the fact that is eight ""cho"" (approximately 870 meters) away from Okazaki Castle. The miso (soy bean paste) produced here eventually became called Hatcho miso. Even now, two producers of this miso still operate here. The district is also tourist destination due to its preserved townscape."

    Aichi Nagoya-shi Nishi-ku Nagono
    "This former castle town merchant district developed alongside the construction of Nagoya Castle in the early Edo period. After a great fire occurred in the area in 1700, the width of the roads was expanded to four ""ken"" (about seven meters) to help prevent the spread of future fires, giving rise to the area's name, which literally means ""four 'ken' road town."" The area's distinctive townscape is comprised of groups of kura storehouses standing on stone basis, rows of merchant homes, and rooftop shrines. During Japan's period of rapid modernization, many of the kura storehouses in the area were demolished, but today those that remain are now being uses as-is to host cafes, restaurants, and bars."

Aichi Areas

around-area-map

Aichi is a prefecture of great natural beauty with Nagoya city at its heart, a busy hub home to a labyrinth of underground shops and the 17th-century Nagoya Castle. Castles are easy to find in this history-rich prefecture, but the highlight for history buffs has to be the Museum Meiji-mura, where preserved buildings from the turn of the 20th century are displayed in all their grandeur in an outdoor museum.
