About a 20-minute drive from the museum is the streetscape of Fukiya, which flourished during the Edo period. Fukiya's streetscape, which flourished due to the red pigment called "Bengara," is designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings by the national government, and the red Sekishu tiles and Bengala-colored walls create a unique landscape.
