須坂の町並み｜製糸業で栄えた街道沿いの商家町【長野旅行】
Hello, this is kapi from kapi trip. This time, we will take a walk in Suzaka, Nagano Prefecture. Suzaka is a town where the Suzaka clan’s camp was located during the Edo period. This trip starts at Nagano Station. From Nagano Station, take the Nagano Dentetsu Nagano Line to Suzaka Station. It takes about 25 minutes to reach Suzaka Station. We arrived at Suzaka Station. A 10-minute walk from Suzaka Station brings us to an area of historic buildings. Suzaka is a town formed along a crisscrossing highway. The town prospered with the development of the silk industry in modern times. In August 2024, the area around this cross street was selected as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. The road you are on now is a former Tani Road. This is Kura-no-Machi Tourist Center, KURATTO. The building was built in the 18th century. It was used as a cocoon warehouse when the silk industry was thriving. It reopened in April 2023 offering a tourist information center, bicycle rentals, and a souvenir sales space. A large round stone can be seen in the foundation of the building. This was called botamochi stone and was a symbol of wealth for families engaged in the silk industry. Walk along the Tani Road from west to east. Botamochi stones can also be seen in the foundation of the wall on the right. Buildings along the streets of Suzaka have a mixture of flat and gable roofs, and the exterior walls are notably made of clay. Please look at the townscape along the street for a while. This is the Kasaboko Kaikan Dream Hall, a branch of the Suzaka City Museum. Kasaboko (floats) and yatai (carts) that parade in the Gion Festival are on display. The glimpse of the mountains from various parts of town is very beautiful. Walk further east on the street toward the Nakamachi intersection. The traffic light in the distance is the Nakamachi intersection. This is Nakamachi no Tsuji, where the old roads used to cross each other. From the Nakamachi intersection, walk further east on Yamada Road to Shinmachi. Now, leaving the street, we headed south and arrived at Okuda Shrine. In the Edo-period, there was a mansion of the Suzaka clan in this area. During the Meiji period, public facilities such as the town hall and library were located here. This is Jinya Inari Shrine, which was the residence deity of the Suzaka clan. Even today, the family crest of the Suzaka feudal lord remains on the roof. From Jinya Inari Shrine, walk west toward the Ozasa Road. This road is nicknamed Asahi-machi Street. There are a number of roads with such nicknames in Suzaka city. The Endo Sake Brewery stands facing the Ozasa Road. The brewery was founded in 1864 and was a purveyor to the Suzaka clan. From the Endo Sake Brewery, walk north on the Ozasa Road. This road is now called Honmachi Street. The former Otagiri family residence is located north of the Nakamachi intersection. The Otagiri family contributed to the development of the silk industry. Many of the buildings were rebuilt by Tatsunosuke Otagiri during the Meiji period. Unfortunately, the museum was closed, so I would like to revisit. Further to the north, the former Koshi Family Residence came into view. This building is associated with Jusaburo Koshi, a businessman in Suzaka. We were able to enter the building and were given a detailed tour. On the way back to Suzaka Station, we stopped by the Fureai Hall Mayugura. It is a former cocoon warehouse of the Tajiri Silk Mill, built in the Meiji era and now used as an exhibition and hands-on experience facility. This time, we took a walk around Suzaka. Thank you for your watching.
長野県須坂市のまちなかをナレーション入りで巡ります。
須坂は、江戸時代に須坂藩の陣屋が置かれた歴史ある町です。十字に交差する街道に沿って発展しました。明治時代以降には、製糸業によってさらに町が繁栄していきます。
この十字の街道を中心としたエリアには歴史ある建物が多く残っており、2024年8月に重要伝統的建造物群保存地区に選定されました。
街道沿いを歩いていると、江戸時代から昭和初期にかけてつくられてきた町の歴史を感じることができます。また、近代の繭蔵を活用した建物もあり、かつての製糸業で栄えた町の面影が残ります。
Suzaka is a historic town where the Suzaka clan’s camp was located during the Edo period. The town developed along the crossroads of highways. Since the Meiji period, the town has further prospered due to the silk spinning industry.
Many historic buildings remain in the area centered on this cross street, and in August 2024, it was selected as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings.
Walking along the street, one can feel the history of the town, which was created from the Edo period to the early Showa period. There are also buildings that utilize modern-day cocoon warehouses, which remind us of the town’s former prosperity as a silk manufacturing center.
