  • 江戸時代北前船で栄えた下津井を偲ぶ
    4.0 Reviewed : 2020.10.09
    北前船が寄港し北海道や各地の産物をもたらした下津井の港、参勤交代や金毘羅参りの人々が訪れた下津井。歴史的な町並みが保存され、その一角に歴史を伝える施設がある。かつての廻船問屋の建物を活用している。蔵のカフェ、日本遺産の展示施設、売店などもあり、下津井の歴史と文化が1時間ほどでわかる。
  • 下津井でおすすめ

    下津井で一番の見所の施設だと思います。昔の展示物があり、昔の街並みとかを再現した模型などがあったりと色々勉強にもなりました。

    今は鄙びた港町ですが、以前にはすごい時代があったと分かります。当時の建物がそのまま残っているのは貴重です。展示会場としても使われており、また隣接地に飲食店もあります。
