- Address
- 1-1 Hama-machi, Minamata City
- Members of the Housewives Group were marching along Hamamoto Street through the intersection of Shin-yotsukado. It might be after a rain because they are wearing rubber boots and carrying umbrellas. There were a gas station at the left, and food stands selling grilled chicken and Oden (a Japanese-style stewed dish) on the right. This scenery was rare at the time.
- A commercial building and a post office now stand in the place where the members of the Housewives Group once marched.
