Imai-cho Edo Period Townscape

Overview

Step back in time at Imai-cho, a remarkably preserved Edo-era townscape in Kashihara, Nara. Just a short walk from Yagi-Nishiguchi Station, this historical district offers a serene escape with its traditional merchant houses, temples, and narrow streets. Explore the town's unique architecture, including the distinctive 'mushikomado' windows, and discover why it's been chosen as a filming location for movies and commercials. Visit the Imai Machinami Exchange Center for maps and information to enhance your stroll through this living museum. The best time to visit is during the quieter morning hours to fully appreciate the tranquil atmosphere.
