Thank you for being here 🙂 In this video, I visited Uchiko-town in ehime prefecture, the 5th prefecture out of my travel through all the 47 prefectures in Japan 🇯🇵

After staying in Ozu City for several days, I headed to Uchiko Town, known for its beautifully preserved old townscape. I stayed at a guesthouse in the Yoka Gokoku district, which features many buildings from the Edo period that have been preserved in their original form. While enjoying local cuisine, I explored the town. Preserving a townscape is not a simple task; once an area is designated for preservation, homeowners can’t freely renovate their houses. Initially, many people opposed this idea, but city officials went door-to-door explaining its significance, gradually gaining support over time. During the Edo period, Uchiko belonged to the Ozu domain and greatly contributed to the finances of both the domain and the Uchiko area through its local wood wax industry. I learned about this history by visiting a museum housed in a former wealthy merchant’s residence from that era. (Next, I’ll share a video focusing on the moon-viewing event.)
