Oshu Esashi Meiji Village
奥州市, Iwate
A stroll touring the remaining Western-style architecture from the Meiji era in Esashi, Oshu City
The Esashi district of Oshu City in Iwate Prefecture features scattered Western-style architecture built during the Meiji era. Historic townscapes with Japanese-Western fusion buildings—including the former Iwatadō Kyōritsu Hospital (now Meiji Memorial Hall) and merchant house storehouses—are perfect for leisurely strolls. In this historic townscape, which was also used as a filming location for the Taiga Drama, you can experience the feeling of stepping back in time.
