🛖Sawara Old Town🎋
Little Edo near Tokyo, with much fewer people
In Chiba Prefecture, Kanto Region
.
Sawara Old Town (佐原の町並み), the former Edo merchant district with the Onogawa River
cutting through the middle of the city, which is now part of Koori City
in Chiba Prefecture. The view of wooden buildings on both sides of the river
is an area of original buildings that have been preserved
by the Japanese government. It is open to tourists to visit
. Walk like many old Japanese cities. There is also
the main activity opens to take a paddle boat to see the view on both sides.
.
For those who like the vibe of a Japanese port city similar to
Kurashiki mixed with Kawagoe City, but more traditional
and there are fewer people near Tokyo, I recommend Os
.
