The historic castle town of Tanba Sasayama City is lined with merchant houses built with the distinctive "tsumairi" style, making it a charming strolling spot that conveys the prosperity of the time.
Kawaramachi Tsumairi Merchants' Houses is a historic streetscape dating back to the Edo period, located in the castle town of Tanba Sasayama City. This street, which once flourished as a commercial center, is lined with merchant houses built in the unique "tsumairi" architectural style, featuring narrow frontages and deep depths. The black lattice doors and white walls create a beautiful landscape, and the area has been designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings by the national government. Just walking through the area evokes a special atmosphere, as if you've wandered into the set of a period drama.

The greatest appeal of this streetscape is its excellent state of preservation and the opportunity to experience the unique architectural beauty up close. "Tsumairi" architecture is an architectural style in which the gabled roof (the end of the building) faces the road, combining the dignity and beauty of a castle town. Cafes, galleries, and pottery shops are scattered throughout the area, utilizing old buildings, allowing you to experience modern culture and crafts while also immersing yourself in the weight of history.

Kawaramachi Tsumairi Merchants' Houses is not just a place to stroll around, but also a place where you can experience the rich food culture and crafts of Tamba Sasayama. There are restaurants serving dishes made with local ingredients and shops selling Tamba ware, so you can enjoy shopping and gourmet food. We recommend combining your visit with other nearby tourist spots such as Tamba Sasayama Castle and samurai residences.
