Nanokamachi Street
七日町通り
A Taisho-era street with a retro feel, lined with storehouses, Western-style buildings and old shops selling lacquerware and sake. It is ideal for strolling, shopping and trying Aizu snacks.
Nanokamachi Street has been Aizu-Wakamatsu's commercial street since ancient times. It runs about 800 meters, with Western-style buildings from the Taisho and early Showa periods and traditional earthen storehouses lining it. Shops sell Aizu lacquerware, sake, folk crafts and coffee, and there are sites with a Shinsengumi theme, such as Amidaji Temple. Here you can try Aizu specialities including katsudon with sweet sauce and koban-shaped pancakes, and buy Akabeko red cow dolls. The nearest station is Nanokamachi Station on the Tadami Line, and the station building is itself a café and local-products shop. Most shops open around 10:00 and close in the evening, and some are closed on Wednesdays.
