SENNENSAKE KIKKAWA

In Murakami, the century-old Sennensake Kikkawa store is a must. Nestled in an elegant wooden house listed as a Cultural Asset, it perpetuates a unique savoir-faire: here, some 1,000 salmon are hung from the beams to dry naturally. A breathtaking spectacle that illustrates the ancestral art of salmon preservation. Free admission all year round, with explanations on site to help you better understand this local tradition. A well-stocked boutique concludes the visit. A remarkable place out of time.
