The district offers a glimpse into the Edo period, with well-maintained paths perfect for a leisurely walk. Visit the nearby Mitzkan Museum to learn more about the area's history and the famous vinegar production. The best time to visit is during the afternoon to enjoy a relaxing stroll along the canal.
