Yanai Nishigura
This white plastered, 1-story wooden storehouse was built as a soy sauce brewery in the late Taisho Period (around 1920's) . Many people used to call it in its nickname "Nishigura" up until 1980. In order to preserve the building as a valuable historical and cultural heritage, its facade, interior pillars and frames have been maintained as original state. It is now utilized as "Yanai Nishigura", a craft center and a gallery.
