Kurayoshi White-Walled Storehouses (Shirakabe Dozogun)

倉吉白壁土蔵群

Shirakabe Dozogun is an old townscape in Kurayoshi with white-walled storehouses along the Tamagawa River. Many of the buildings date from the Edo and Meiji periods. Some old storehouses are now shops and workshops, including the red-tiled "Akagawara" buildings. It is a pleasant area for a slow walk.
