Jōtō Street, Traditional machinami district in Tsuyama, Japan.
The street displays rows of preserved wooden townhouses with traditional architectural elements, including latticed windows and tiled roofs from the Edo period.
Established as a merchant district during the prosperous Edo period, Jōtō Street served as a central thoroughfare for pilgrims traveling to Izumo Shrine.
The district includes the former residence of Mitsukuri Genpo, a scholar who translated Western texts and contributed to Japan's modernization in the 18th century.
Visitors can explore multiple preserved buildings, museums, and traditional shops along the 500-meter stretch, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The street features a converted sake brewery from 1758, now functioning as a guesthouse where guests can experience a traditional sake bath.
