Nestled in between Nagoya Station and the city centre itself is the area known as Shikimichi. It is one of the last remaining historical districts in the city, which was pretty much decimated by the fire bombings of WW2.
Shikimichi is now famous for it's remaining
Kura, or old style warehouses, many of which have not only survived, but are at last being preserved.
One such kura is this one, dating back over 270 years and now being preserved as a restaurant and gallery space.
A small garden adds to the historical atmosphere of the former rice and dry goods storage facility, and gives one a taste of the good things to come once inside.
