We had to postpone our trip to Miyajima because of the rain so we decided to take the train to Saijo, 30 minutes from Hiroshima. The town was famous for its sake breweries, 7 of which had been producing the national drink for over 100 years. We visited the tourist office at the station and were given a map of the town indicating the location of each brewery which were all within 5 minutes walk from the station. We started at the Kamotsuru Brewery where the process was explained in a 10 minute documentary, followed by free tasting. Later we visited Fukubijin, Kamoizumi, Kirei, Saijotsuru, Hakubotan and Kamoki Breweries , having 2 or 3 samples at each. All the tasting was free except for one brewery which charged 50 yen per shot. We bought several small bottles to take home.

Yanai City is a port town south of Iwakuni City. It was part of the Iwakuni fiefdom in the Edo era. It flourished in the Edo era as a collection point of local produce. The merchant district with its white-walled shops was designated in 1984 as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Historic Buildings, one of the oldest of such designations. In contrast to Iwakuni, Yanai was left out of modern industrialization which explains why the old merchant area has remained very much intact. It is famous for its white walled merchant buildings which have become a huge tourist attraction. It was pouring when we got to the historic merchant area. This is a high street that runs about 200 meters with merchant shops from the Edo era on both sides. Unfortunately almost all the shops as well as the residences open to the public were closed because of an approaching typhoon. The area had flourished in the Edo era as a collection and trading point for local produce, vegetable oil in particular. Sweet soy sauce making continues to this day. My wife noticed a pleasant aroma of soy sauce but the soy sauce shops were all closed. if you are interested in historical buildings please visit my homepage Rediscovering Japan.
