Besides Sake factories, Saijo has a few quasi-western buildings and old-fashioned houses of local people. Recently the Kuguri-mon gate, originally built in the 1920s, was restored and now serves as a tourist information and community space. There used to be two gates of the same type as the restored and between the gates stood stores and beyond the gate a theater. 

Feel the history of the town while walking and sipping sake in the Sake Brewery Street of Saijo.
