Many of the stores established during the Taisho period to the early Showa period remain and serve as a reminder of the townscape at the time.
Buildings of Uwamachi
Many stores along the prefectural road that runs through Uwamachi features billboard architecture and dashigeta architecture. They serve as a vivid reminder of the prewar Showa period (1926-1945) townscape. Some of these historic buildings are still being used by businesses today, and visitors can view the architecture while shopping around the Uwamachi area.
