In the Hizen Hama station building, there is a "Hama Bar" where you can casually taste all the sake from the six Kashima breweries. The Hizen Hama station is operated by the Hizen Hama Shuku Mizu to Machinami no Kai, which also provides tourist information about the area. The bar is open from 11:00 to 16:30 in the daytime and from 18:00 to 21:00 in the evening (Friday, Saturday and Sunday). The shop is open from 11:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday).

Description

Hizen Hamashuku is a city that was formed during Japan's Middle Ages (1184-1603) with a townscape that developed around the residence of Omura, the lord at the time, and Matsuoka Shrine, and with the port town of Shozu as its core. The area was blessed with abundant groundwater and delicious rice, which led to the prosperity of sake brewing, and even today there are many large sake breweries standing side by side. The Hamanaka River runs through the center, and the Hamanakamachi Hachihongishuku area, on the north side of the river, is home to a series of traditional "Machiya" buildings made using fireproof "Dozo-zukuri" construction. The beautiful white walls, a distinctive feature of Dozo-zukuri buildings, create an impressive townscape. On the south side of the river, in the Hamashozumachi district and Kanayamachi district, there are many thatched-roof houses (houses with roofing made of torreya, a member of the reed family). The landscape on both sides of the river is reminiscent of a bygone era, each with its own different flavor.
