The Yanai White Wall Street is a historic landscape located in Yanai City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, and has been designated as a nationally important preservation district for groups of traditional buildings. During the Edo period, merchant buildings that prospered through trade with Suo-Oshima (Yashiro Island) and Kyushu line the streets, forming a beautiful streetscape characterized by white walls and lattice windows. In particular, many merchant and private houses built from the late Edo period to the Meiji period remain, conveying the prosperity of those times to the present day. Walking through the streets, you can feel as if you have traveled back in time, and you will be enveloped in a nostalgic atmosphere.

The symbol of this street is the "goldfish lantern." This folk craft, which originated in Yanai City, fantastically colors the streetscape on summer nights, fascinating visitors. Within the street, there are facilities where you can experience making goldfish lanterns and shops selling traditional crafts, making it a great place to create memories of your trip. You can also learn about the history and manufacturing process of amuro soy sauce at the Kanro Soy Sauce Museum. Another fun thing to do is look for local specialties and souvenirs.

Yanai's white-walled streets are popular not only for historical walks, but also as a photogenic spot. The scenery of white walls, lattice doors, and goldfish lanterns is picturesque no matter where you look. There are also coffee shops and cafes dotted around the streets, so you can take a break during your walk.
