About this place
The Joto district, on the east side of the castle town of Tsuyama, facing the old Izumo Kaido. Buildings that keep their old appearance, with namako-kabe walls, sleeve walls, and insect-cage windows, line the street. There are Sakushu Joto Yashiki, whose fire watchtower catches the eye, and Joto Mukashi Machiya, preserving an Edo-period townhouse. It was selected as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings in 2013.
