This place prospered as the town of tradesmen and craftsmen, and still keeps historical landscapes such as the moats of ex-Wakabayashi Castle behind another landscape of the urbanization. The gate called 'Machi-Kido', the starting point to make a journey, was here, where the wayfarers set out passing through and crossing across Hirose-river. Before leaving Kawaramachi, the travellers also visited 'Traveller's Inari Myojin', and opened a fest to wish a good luck of journey.
