This wasn’t on our itinerary, we hadn’t heard of this place until we checked Google maps and asked Google what was of interest in the locality. We are very glad we did as it’s a charming little place.
Walk down the preserved historic district called Yōkaichi & Gokoku, a winding road with 600 meters of traditional houses and gardens from the Edo, Meiji, and Taisho periods (roughly from 1600–1930). You can visit the museum of commerce with a number of tableaux from probably the1890s.
Our satnav was not particularly helpful in finding parking and we went down this historic street in our motorhome which isn’t long but is tall. All somewhat problematic,but we made it.

Despite it being such an interesting place the heat and the humidity got to us and I must confess that we didn’t see all that this delightful little town had to offer and instead opted to find a supermarket where we could cruise the aisles and cool down - it took a while.
