It originated in 1770 using an architectural technique called 土蔵造り ('dozo-zukuri'), or "earthen-walled storehouse," apparently one of only 220 remaining in all Japan. They were popular as they were impervious to the ubiquitous fires that once ravaged cities here and also deterred thieves. The brewery has a cool Website which sadly does not mention tours, though there is a restaurant and sake tasting: https://tuzyun.com/ Put that on your bucket list; if you've never toured a sake brewery, you should. - Williamhttps://kumanichi.com/articles/317499 2021-07-16 08:08 JSTChuck Waterman here:UPDATE: Two days past second shot.

It's obviously a dog with scabies, caused by mites. The condition is easily treatable. However, it is a reminder against allowing pets to freely associate, and to have a good vet.

It still exists, called the "Orange tetsudo" after the citrus grown in the area. It's popular among those who want to go nowhere slowly. They're offering a special menu to enjoy as you absorb the views and a passbook where you can receive a stamp at each station reached.
