Waking around Mimitsu, a historical place in Hyuga

After seeing Umagase, we went to the Mimitsu (美々津) area in Hyuga, Miyazaki. This area has been designated a national important preservation district for groups of historic buildings.

We went there once before, but we only see the Uemachi (上町) main street last time. This time we walked around the Nakamachi (中町) area where are the Machiya (町屋) style houses in the street.

The Hyuga City Historical Folk Museum is in the center of Nakamachi area. This used to be a lighter shop between Edo and Meiji periods. Now it has been restored as a folk museum.
