I View Ouchi-jyuku from the Top of a Hill

 

There was a hill at the end of the main street of ouchi-jyuku. On the top of the hill, there was a small temple called Seihou-ji.

I was able to see beautiful traditional thatched houses standing in line from the temple.

I Go to Ouchi-jyuku

 

My wife and I went to Ouchi-jyuku in the town of Shimogo in Minamiaizu District, Fukushima Prefecture.

The area is famous for the numerous traditional thatched buildings from the Edo Period that line its main street.

Many buildings have been preserved as they were before the Meiji Restoration, and the area has been designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. 

All photos of today's post were taken by my wife, Kiyono using her smartphone.
