Nowadays, the city is still a very\u00a0<strong>active commercial centre<\/strong>\u00a0and it proudly shows off a collection of architecture pieces that is unique in Japan. Here, indeed, the merchants chose to distinguish themselves by building unique properties and enchanting public buildings for the community.<\/p>\n<p>Just 10 minutes by bus from the station you can admire the\u00a0<strong>12 Sankyo storehouses<\/strong>, built in 1893. This is one of the most historic places in Sakata. Rice is still packed here and shipped to the rest of Japan and the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"accordian fusion-accordian\" style=\"--awb-border-size:1px;--awb-icon-size:13px;--awb-content-font-size:16px;--awb-icon-alignment:left;--awb-hover-color:#f9f9f9;--awb-border-color:#cccccc;--awb-background-color:#ffffff;--awb-divider-color:var(--awb-color3);--awb-divider-hover-color:var(--awb-color3);--awb-icon-color:#ffffff;--awb-title-color:#ff690e;--awb-content-color:#201f1e;--awb-icon-box-color:#333333;--awb-toggle-hover-accent-color:#002d56;--awb-title-font-family:&quot;Open Sans&quot;;--awb-title-font-weight:700;--awb-title-font-style:normal;--awb-title-font-size:13px;--awb-content-font-family:&quot;Open Sans&quot;;--awb-content-font-style:normal;--awb-content-font-weight:regular;\"><div class=\"panel-group fusion-toggle-icon-boxed\" id=\"accordion-50233-1\"><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-e473e16912bad3bf2 fusion-toggle-has-divider\" style=\"--awb-title-color:#ff690e;--awb-content-color:#201f1e;\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_e473e16912bad3bf2\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"e473e16912bad3bf2\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-50233-1\" data-target=\"#e473e16912bad3bf2\" href=\"#e473e16912bad3bf2\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Read More<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"e473e16912bad3bf2\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_e473e16912bad3bf2\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\">One of these storehouses is now a museum with a souvenir shop and local products on sale. The surroundings have remained unchanged in time: the storehouses are surrounded by Zelkova trees, which provide the right ventilation in the summer and provide protection from the rigid winters.<\/p>\n<p>An\u00a0MSC excursion\u00a0will take you to the hinterland of Sakata, where the three Dewa Sanzan mountains rise up. One if these is called\u00a0<strong>Haguro-san<\/strong>\u00a0and at its summits stands the shrine of rebirth. You can easily explore this cultural site, which is open all year, by following a footpath through a magical forest of cedar trees. You will come across 33 carved sculptures along the way, which bring prosperity to those who find them all.<\/p>\n<p>Once back down in the valley you can visit the\u00a0<strong>Ken Domon Museum of Photography<\/strong>, dedicated to the famous photographer of the same name, who was born in Sakata. Before his death, he donated some 70,000 photographs to the city, which were put on display in this museum. By exploring its rooms you will discover the realistic and unique style of Domon in documenting post WWII Japan.<\/p>\n<p>An\u00a0Asia Cruise\u00a0offers you all this.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container has-pattern-background
