    Jokoji Temple

    Takuboku Ishikawa was born in this temple on February 20, 1898. In the precincts, there is a monument written by Kyosuke Kindaichi, who was Takuboku's lifelong friend, and reads, ``Ishikawa Takuboku Birthplace.'' In addition, a portion of the room where he lived in Takuboku's Houtokuji Temple until he moved there has been restored and preserved.

    Aya Sonoko Issaryo

    There is a black stucco storehouse that is over 200 years old in Konyamachi, where many earthen storehouse-style buildings still remain. The first floor is Gallery Saisono, and the second floor is Issaryo (coffee shop). The light from the lamps gently illuminating the high-ceilinged interior and the nostalgic furniture will soothe your soul. Enjoy a relaxing moment with coffee and Chinese tea. There is also ``Aisono II'' in the back, which is a hidden art space.
