As you wander the streets of Yanesen, make a detour via this mud and tile wall. Built in the latter half of the Edo period, this 40m x 2m section has managed to survive the natural disasters and air raids, and today stands as a perfect representation of how the city would have been divided up in times gone by.

Information
Getting there
Follow the road down from the Asakura Museum of Sculpture and the wall is on your right after about 50 meters
