Overview
Yanai, known for its goldfish lanterns and white-walled town, thrived as a bustling commercial area during the Edo period thanks to its calm climate and vibrant trade. Today, many beautiful white-walled buildings and historical streets remain, allowing you to stroll through a town filled with history.

Explore the historical preservation district of white-walled buildings with an English-speaking guide. The beautiful streets of white-walled buildings will be enhanced by the guide’s explanations. - Goldfish Lantern Making Experience
The goldfish lantern, a traditional craft from Yanai that spread during the Edo period, is a cute lantern shaped like a goldfish, often used in summer festivals. Under the guidance of a craftsman, you can enjoy a hands-on experience creating one from scratch by painting the eyes and body. - Soy Sauce Brewery Visit
