I sat on a bench here and rested comfortably for about 30 to 40 minutes. I really liked the quiet atmosphere.

Shiomi Tate is one of the 100 selected streets in Japan, retaining the castle town style of the Edo period. In the past, this area was a place where only samurai with a salary of two hundred koku could live. There is also the former residence and memorial hall of the famous British writer Koizumi Yakumo here. It's raining continuously today, the temperature has dropped sharply, and it's a unique atmosphere.

This road is lined with samurai residences and offers a taste of the traditional townscape. Although it is about 10 meters long, it has been renovated and used as a modern building such as a museum, restaurant, and inn, while maintaining the original building and atmosphere. It seems that some people live here normally. At Horikawa, which faces the highway, you can sometimes see sightseeing boats passing by.

Visited in 2013/10 Not bad for a walk. In addition to the samurai residences, willow trees are planted on the banks of the moat, and tour boats can also be seen. There are also some gift shops, cafes, and soba noodle shops on the roadside where you can eat and have afternoon tea.

I went for a walk early in the morning. It's a lovely place. You will feel like you have traveled back in time. It's about a 15 minute walk from the prefectural office area. It's perfect for a short stroll, and there are other attractions nearby, such as samurai residences and the Koizumi Yakumo Memorial Museum.
