"Kaisho-dori" in the Murozumi district of Hikari City is an old townscape that retains the atmosphere of a port town that once flourished as a port of call for Kitamae-bune ships and as a key point of the Seto Inland Sea. Heavy merchant houses and storehouses line the street, reminiscent of the former bustle and the rich lives of the people of that time. If you take a city walk, you can encounter not only traditional architectural beauty but also historic shrines and temples and small shops loved by locals. This street, where the calm air unique to a town facing the sea and the multilayered memories of history mix, is a charming promenade for travelers who want to quietly and deeply experience Japan's port town culture.
