  • A sweet shop can be seen at the front. On the far right there is the chamber of commerce. The sign of the sweet shop shows some trade names such as caramel candy and Karukan (steamed sweet bun made from grated yam and rice flour).
  • A corner of Daioku-cho at present. The sweet shop was renovated. Now there is a budget hotel nearby.
