| Comment |
The Kyu-Abumi-ya is a typical
example of what the premises of a shipping agent of Sakata once
looked like. The machi-ya style of the agent's office and family
house combined show visitors how the premises looked and functioned
during the Edo Period, an era in which the ferry business in the
Sea of Japan was extremely important and prosperous. Following eight
years of renovation work commencing in 1990, the machi-ya (literally
town house) was restored completely to the typical style of old
Sakata, with roofs thatched with cryptmeria bark, cobblestones,
18m tatami room and corridors facing onto an inner courtyard of
the same length. If in Sakata, don't miss visiting some of the town's
many historical buildings. |
