Kawaraya Yokocho Store Alley

A homage to the prosperous river trading period

Located near Kumano Hayatama Taisha Grand Shrine, this area is a recreation of the prosperous river trading business, involving simple souvenir shops and cafés, from the Edo through to the Showa periods in Kumano-gawa River. The river business was only open when there was no water. Once the river swelled, they would shut down the shops, and reassemble the businesses once the water subsided again.
