[2025 Tochigi Attraction] Travel Guide for Kuranomachi Old Town (Updated Mar)

#0yentravelFebruary2025 Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture, has been a post town on the Nikko Reibeishi Kaido road since the Edo period. It was also a commercial city in northern Kanto as a wholesale town that prospered through boat transport during the Edo period. Even now, the banks of the Uwa River that flows through the city and the main street of Kuranomachi are still lined with heavy black-painted storehouses and white-walled storehouses. The storehouses are said to be among the oldest in Japan. This is a record of a leisurely stroll along the charming walking path along the Kuranomachi street, feeling the history. · · • • • ✤ • • • · · · • • • ✤ • • • · · · • • • ✤ • • • • Access 📍13-1 Fujimi-cho, Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture 328-0043 📍Tochigi Kuranomachi Free Parking for Visitors 〒328-0036 11 Muromachi, Tochigi City, Tochigi Prefecture 📍About 7 minutes on foot from JR Tochigi Station, about 500m #Domestic travel #Girls trip #Tochigi Prefecture #Tochigi trip #Tochigi sightseeing

#2024wish I visited from Tokyo in the summer. The boatman is in a good way and teaches me a lot. I thought the role of the boatman was important in this town.I think the scenery will change depending on the season, so I would like to visit in the coming season. Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, departure once every 30 minutes. The boatman tells us about the explanation of the river and the rise and fall of the city. Tour in 25 minutes. The water in the river was clean, I didn't care about the smell, and a lot of carp and ducks came to me. The price is also reasonable at 1000 yen per person. I recommend it! I wish to travel more in 2024
