Yokamachi Dori 八日町通り

A street filled with the atmosphere of cobble stones and lattice doors

This street is a symbol of Inami, the village in front of the 600 year old Zuizen-ji temple. Lined with workshops producing Inami woodcarvings (designated as national traditional craftwork), the cobbled street is full of visitors attracted by the smell of wood and the numerous carved products. It has even been selected as one of the Best Hundred Soundscapes of Japan because of the pleasant sound of wooden hammers ringing out from the workshops. Please visit Yokamachi Dori and savour a street filled with the atmosphere of bygone times.
