Yanase Townscape

Yanase-machi, situated along the Sanin Kaidou Highway, is a peaceful residential area that still has its historical post town setting back from when it was a stop along the old highway.
There's also a scenic view of Awaga-yama Mountain in the background.
There were 6 different Japanese sake breweries in service here during Yanase's peak as a post town, two of which still remain today.
Over near the eastern side of the Awaga River in the former town center, Yanase still has two major historical town areas.
One of which is a local residential style area in the market district, featuring large estates and merchant houses from Yanase's historical past.
The largest of these estates is where one of Yanase's sake breweries still remains.
