Nakamachi Komise-dori Street

Nakamachi Komise-dori Street is a shipping district on the east side of Konan Kuroishi Station, Konan Railway. This arcade, called a “komise,” is lined with wooden structures built to keep snow and direct sunlight off the shops. The area retains its Edo period atmosphere and Cultural Properties, and the rare Group of Traditional Buildings has made it one of Japan’s Top 100 City Streets. There are volunteer guides available to show visitors through Nakamachi Komise-dori Street. The Komise Festival held every September features Tsugaru Shamisen Performances and Tsugaru folksongs, as well as wind instrument music performances by local high school students.
