Udatsu Townscape
"Udatsu" is a firewall built on the second floor of a building to prevent fire from spreading to neighboring houses and this area is commonly known as "udatsu-no-machinami" ( udatsu townscape) because of the large number of udatsu at both ends of the townhouses. Udatsu were originally built for fire prevention, but since it cost a lot of money to install them, they became more decorative and gradually became a symbol of wealth and success. This street is ideal for strolling the town with its restaurants and general stores.
