About this place
A retro townscape in Mikuni Minato, Sakai, Fukui Prefecture. Retaining the look of the Edo to Meiji periods when it prospered with Kitamaebune trade, it has rows of townhouses with lattice doors. If you apply for a volunteer guide walking tour you can learn the history in detail, and the Mikuni Minato Machiya-kan is free and closed on Wednesdays.
