Ozu Akarengakan

Built in 1901 as the head office of the Ozu Commercial Bank. The building is characterized by a Japanese-Western eclectic style, combining English red brick with Japanese rooftiles (displaying the Sho character on the demon tiles). At construction time, Ozu was at the height of its prosperity as a base for wax, silk manufacture industries, as well as timber trade. Neighbouring 'Garyu Sanso (villa)' was completed at the same time, showing how economically prosperous the Ozu was at that time and had a high level of culture. 

The main building is now occupied by a select shop where souvenirs unique to this area are displayed. You can experience local delicate crafts, such as the sophisticated designs of "Tobe ware" ceramics, accessories using cocoons from Ozu, or hand-made geta sandals. 

 

2階にあるカフェでは、赤煉瓦の中庭を眺めながら飲み物などを楽しむことができる。また、町歩き途中での休憩やギャラリーとしても活用されており、さまざまな目的で利用することができる。
