On your right at the first corner, WATANABE Residence is located. The old house was built in 1849 and is designated as an important property of Japan.

The roof was changed from a thatched roof to a tiled roof, but still remains the atmosphere as it was in the Edo Age.

If you walk further to the south, the main street tuns to the right. After turning to the right, you will see a Japanese "Sake" brewery. The store curtain,which was displayed in front of the "Sake" store, was very impressive. The name of the "Sake" brand of this brewery is "Otaki Jyo", which means the Otaki Castle in Japanese.

The hotel is located at the south end of the town area. Agricultural fields extend over the area south of the hotel. You will see the Otaki Castle on your right, beyond agricultural fields.
