Kiryu Shinmachi important traditional buildings preservation district

Slider

Currently the town of “Honmachi” which is the central city area of Kiryu City, was built over 400 years ago by instructions of Tokugawa Ieyasu.
While the town has changed its appearance in the long history, the area where we introduce here often shows the state of land use initially where the town was built. Since there were a lot of buildings made from the late Edo era to the early Showa era, it was selected as the fifth “Important Traditional Building Group Conservation Area” in the Kanto in 2012 (Heisei 24).
