Yanai Nishigura/goldfish lantern experience
Yanai Nishigura is a wooden, tile-roofed, one-story warehouse with white walls built in the 1920s, and was known as a soy sauce warehouse by the nickname "nishigura" until about 1980. You can currently try your hand at making goldfish lanterns and Yanaijima loom weaving.
It also offers tourist information on the white-walled buildings in the town.
