Chosen as one of the 100 Streets of Japan (Nihon no Michi 100 sen), this small pocket of town takes you on a time traveling adventure! The street has connecting roofs in front (arcaded sidewalks) to protect the pedestrians in the heavy winter snow. There are small craft shops and restaurants as well as a sake brewery. There's an open (free) rest area for you called Matsu no Yu, which used to be a communal bathing facility and now has been renovated to be a food area and exhibition space. Very nice!
