Explore the Yakage Inn Townscape, a preserved post town on the former Sanyo Road. Just a 10-minute walk from Yakage Station or a 20-minute drive from Kamogata IC, this area showcases well-preserved buildings, including the former main and auxiliary inns. Admire the unique architectural styles, such as the gabled facades and decorative ogre tiles. Stroll through the 800-meter stretch of townhouses, some with the narrow frontage and long depth known as "eel beds." Visit the Yakage Hometown Museum to see the reconstructed water watchtower, a testament to the town's history of flood control. The best time to visit is during the morning to experience the quiet charm of this historical area.
