A beautiful streetscape in Gotsu City lined with red "Sekishu Tiles" (Sekishu-gawara). The atmosphere of a port town that once flourished through river transport on the Gōno River and trade on the Sea of Japan remains, with heavy buildings and stone pavements telling a deep history. The sight of the characteristic red tiles (Iraka) of this region shining in the sun is a color beauty unique to the San'in region. Walking the quiet streets, you can feel the presence of old merchant houses and the breath of a calm life, as if you’ve slipped back in time. An ideal walking path for travelers who want to enjoy the traditional colors of regional Japan and the lingering echoes of a calm history.
