Sankyo Soko Warehouses
As you stroll through the grounds, you'll encounter the nostalgic atmosphere of the connected warehouses and landscapes that evoke the busy scenes of a past rice shipping port. This area is also known as a filming location for movies and dramas, including NHK's "Oshin," becoming a popular photo spot for many visitors.
The exterior of the warehouse is captivating, with its white-walled triangular roof facing the Mogami River, reflecting beautifully in the water, while the wharf and small fishing boats create a picturesque scene. On the other hand, the zelkova tree-lined path at the back showcases the beauty of the seasons, especially enchanting in fresh green foliage, snowy landscapes, and at sunset.
The premises also house the "Sakata Dream Warehouse," a tourism and product center where you can purchase local specialties, rice, and sake as souvenirs. Additionally, there are restaurants offering meals made from seasonal seafood and local produce, as well as a popular open terrace where you can enjoy the breeze.
With its long history and continued affection from many people, Sankyo Warehouse stands as a symbol of Sakata, conveying its charm to all who visit.
