Namako-kabe The term namako-kabe (sea cucumber wall) comes from a technique of affixing flat roof tiles to a wall and building up the mortar joints with white plaster to resemble the sea creature called a namako. This exterior wall method offers excellent fire resistance, thermal insulation, and moisture control, and was commonly seen from the Meiji era through the early Showa period. However, it has declined year by year due to deterioration and rebuilding. Today it can still be found in Izu — notably in Matsuzakicho and Shimoda City — and elsewhere in Japan, such as Kurashiki City in Okayama Prefecture and Higashihiroshima City in Hiroshima Prefecture. Matsuzakicho still retains over 190 such buildings, preserving their traditional charm. Namako-kabe has become rare nationwide. The town treats it as an important resource and actively works to preserve it. Skilled plasterers who can still create namako-kabe carry out restorations, helping to pass on the craft and maintain the streetscape, while a local volunteer group, Matsuzaki Kura-zukuri-tai, promotes conservation and awareness. Although namako-kabe may seem commonplace, it survives today because of the dedication and efforts of these craftsmen and townspeople to pass this regional resource on to the future.

Walking around looking at the engraved letters and crests, you can see various stones and the faces of warriors. I also wanted to leave my calligraphy on a stone... I found a stone that was easy to engrave on a waterfall face and a waterfall cliff on a mountain that my teacher had taught me about. After borrowing and inscribing the stone, I will return it to its original place. This stone engraved with "Michi" is a model by Mrs. Shoen.

Here are some recommended sightseeing spots in Kawazu Town, a beautiful town surrounded by the nature of the sea and mountains! This time, I would like to introduce "Kawazu Ruins of the Castle". ・Kawazu Castle overlooking cherry blossom trees Shiroyama is located northeast of Kawazu Station, and is a 181-meter-high mountain called Mt. Dainichi because it enshrines Dainichi Nyorai at the top of the mountain. There used to be Kawazu Castle, which was built by Kageyama Kageyu, who drew the blood of the Ashikaga clan, but it was attacked by fire from the foot of Mt. by Hōjō Sōun, and since there was no water, he tried to extinguish the fire with military rice, but it was not extinguished and the castle fell. Even now, when you dig in the mountains, you can find grilled rice. Legend has it that if you feed this grilled rice to cows and horses, they will not get sick. ◆ Detailed information ◆ 【Spot name】Kawazu Ruins of the Castle 【Address】Shiroyama Kawazu Town Sasahara Kamo District, Shizuoka Prefecture 【Business hours】9:00~16:00 【Regular holiday】Open open all year 【Parking lot】None 【Other】Please walk in familiar athletic shoes.
