The Former Nitta Noodle Factory in Yakage, Okayama, is a well-preserved building constructed in 1899. This traditional machiya-style structure features a classic layout with a 'tori-niwa' (passageway garden) and a gabled roof. Visitors can observe the architectural evolution from the Edo period, with the building transitioning from a 'tsushi-nikai' (attic-like second story) to a standard two-story design. The addition of a bay window on the first floor adds a touch of modernity to this historical gem. A visit offers a glimpse into the architectural changes over time.
