Nanukamachi-dori walking trail

FUKUSHIMA CULTURE

A major thoroughfare during the Edo period, it acted as the western entrance to the castle town with a concentration of wholesale shops, inns, and restaurants. Nowadays, it is home to many diverse stores with a townscape reminiscent of Japan 100 years ago, known as "Romantic Taisho." With stores selling lacquerware, painted candles, cotton, as well as sake breweries, visitors can see the traditional crafts passed down from the age of the samurai as they walk here.
