The old streetscape of Atsuta in Korankei is a historic merchant town designated as an important traditional building preservation district by the government. Atsuta's streetscape flourished as a post town on the Ina Highway during the Edo period, where salt was transported by pack horses. The old buildings, such as white-walled storehouses, lattice doors, and black board walls, and the old houses with mixed gabled and hipped roofs, still remain today, conveying the atmosphere of the post town. Atsuta's streetscape was the first important traditional building preservation district designated in Aichi Prefecture, and the preserved atmosphere of the streetscape is valuable and precious. As it is located in a quiet place surrounded by nature, you can spend a non-daily, extraordinary time. Atsuta's streetscape is the perfect place for travelers who want to enjoy Japan's old-fashioned streetscapes!
