Black fence street
Let's paint pictures on rice crackers! Murakami, once a castle town known for its rice crackers, still boasts many valuable buildings, including some designated as national cultural properties.
To preserve a landscape befitting such buildings, residents initiated the “Black Fence Project.” This effort involved painting wooden fences black in Anzen Alley and surrounding areas to create a unified streetscape, with everyone from local children to the elderly pitching in.
This project received high praise, winning the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's “Handmade Hometown Award” and the “Beautiful Townscape Award.” Since then, they have continued advancing greening efforts through tree planting.
Why not take a leisurely stroll while admiring the townscape crafted by its residents? Theme Park
