YOKKAICHI MUNICIPAL MUSEUM


Yokkaichi market 3300

Moving approximately five kilometers to the south of Kurube, you can see Yokkanoichi as it was 500 years ago. Shops lined the streets, mainly those leading to Ise Bay. Yokkaichibaura Port was located at one corner of the marketplace and the Tokaido main road cut right across the marketplace. We can assume that on market days numerous people gathered at the marketplace via road and sea and that merchants and customers engaged in discussion here as goods were bought and sold. Let your imagination run and picture scenes of the bustling marketplace, the inflow and outflow of goods, their usage, etc.
