The Row of Houses with Senbon Latticework in Kanaya-cho, Takaoka City

When I visited Takaoka in Toyama Prefecture, I rented an electric bicycle near the station and explored the area around it. During my ride, I passed through the row of houses with traditional latticework in the Kanayamachi district. This is the heart of Takaoka, which prospered through iron casting. Along the roughly 500-meter cobblestone path, the pleasant sound of wind chimes resonates. I didn't know this, but it seems copper pieces shaped like hearts and stars are scattered here and there along the cobblestones, so you can enjoy it in a Disneyland-like way, haha. It was a lovely little alley where you could experience the charming atmosphere of the townscape.
