Traditional buildings on Yanai's White Wall Street.


Bamboo branches with tiny paper goldfish decorations - how cute!


Stan outside a shop with larger paper goldfish on display & items for sale.


Looking up at a goldfish under the wide roof overhang. These have LED string lights inside - what a great idea!


We stopped for a cold drink.


How convenient - this machine even takes a credit card!


Beautiful & traditional White Wall Street in Yanai.


In this old warehouse called Nishi-Gura, you can make a paper goldfish & see other local crafts & art on display.


Sewer cover in the street depicting White Wall area.


This old building was a bank during Meiji era (September 1868 through July 1912), but now it's a Visitor's Information Center. Here we turned right onto Rotoro Street & rode down over the river & into the downtown area of Yanai.


This building on Retoro Street with clock tower is called Hall of Music Box Grimm. It houses a famous music box inside the open, covered area. When you're in Yanai, be SURE to check this out!
