Highlights of Nanokamachi-dōri Street
Retro streetscape
Many buildings dating from around the Taishō era have been preserved along Nanukamachi Street. Historic buildings have been repurposed as shops, allowing visitors to enjoy a stroll through Aizu-Wakamatsu amid the romantic atmosphere of the period.
This is the former Tsukahara Kimono Shop. It is now home to “Bandai Sports Nanukamachi,” a sporting-goods store.
This is the former Tsukahara Kimono Store's second branch. The words "Department Store" have a wonderfully understated feel.
The streetscape of kura storehouses, Western-style buildings, and wooden merchant houses preserves architectural details from the period when the former castle town developed into a modern commercial city.
Amidaji Temple
Amida-ji is a temple that is easy to visit together with Nanokamachi-dori Street. It contains the grave of Shinsengumi member Saitō Hajime, also known as Fujita Gorō.
The temple grounds also retain the Gosankai, a structure relocated here from the inner bailey of Tsuruga Castle after the Boshin War.
