Muza-chan's Gate to Japan

Yokaichi Uchiko, old merchants district

Tue, March 13, 2018, by Muza-chan
Yokaichi was the prosperous district of high quality wax merchants and producers in Uchiko, Ehime Prefecture, on the Shikoku Island.

Preserved as it was 130 years ago, it is an interesting and pleasant attraction, offering a half-kilometer long street lined by about 90 well maintained machiya townhouses. Many of them are featuring wooden lattice and white plaster walls, and are operating now as shops selling local products.
