古い町並み散歩＃２６｜出雲街道 久世宿｜三つの顔を持つ熱狂の町｜岡山県真庭市久世｜令和の時代に残る懐かしき風景

Please take a look at this video of a stroll through an old townscape that remains in the Reiwa era. This time, for our old town walk, we'll be walking through "Kuse-juku on the Izumo Kaido," a vibrant town with three faces, located in Kuze, Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture. Kuze-juku, located in Maniwa City, Okayama Prefecture, is a town with a history of prosperity during the Edo period as a post town on the Izumo Kaido road, a water transportation hub on the Asahikawa River, and one of Japan's leading cattle markets. The three elements of "the highway (post town) that samurai passed through," "the market (Hakuromachi) that generated wealth for farmers," and "the main artery that transported goods (Funamachi)" were all concentrated in an area of ​​about 1 km, giving the town a free and lively atmosphere that was different from the surrounding castle towns. Even today, the Kuze Matsuei (Danjiri Fight) is held every year in Kuze, carrying on the excitement of that time, and the energy of that intense festival may also have its roots in this complex history of trade. Additionally, from the area around Tenjinbashi Bridge over the Misaka River to Asahimachi, traditional townhouse architecture remains, creating a picturesque landscape that evokes the prosperity of the past. Kuze-juku is one of the "Eight Post Towns of Mimasaka," along with Katsuyama, Mikan, and Shinjo, and conveys the history of the Izumo Kaido to the present day. Today, I'd like to take a walk around Kuze-juku, a place with such a multifaceted history. See the rest in the video... The historical information used in this video is the result of AI research.
