Kurayoshi Shirakabe Dozo Gun
This is a National Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings, where old merchant houses and storehouses built between the Edo and Taisho periods are lined up along the Tamagawa River.

It was probably a weekday, so a lot of the shops were closed.
Because there weren’t many people, I was able to take lots of photos of the peaceful streets and buildings.
