At Ohanahan Street the town layout, as well as Edo-period rows of houses, have been faithfully preserved, allowing you to get a glimpse of what life was like back in late 19th century. Merchants occupied the north side while the south side was reserved for samurai residences. This street is said to be wider than other streets because it was used as a path to the feudal lord's villa, and it is also thought that consideration was given to prevent a merchant's house fire from spreading to the samurai residence.
The name 'Ohanahan Street' is derived from its role as the main setting of the NHK morning drama "Ohanahan" in 1966.
