Former Shimo-Yoichi Unjoya
旧下ヨイチ運上家Hokkaido
The Former Shimo-Yoichi Unjoya is a restored merchant trading post built in 1853 on the Yoichi seafront, and the only surviving building of its type in Japan. Unjoya were fishery and trading stations operated under licence from the Matsumae domain, and the interior preserves the merchant's living quarters, offices, storerooms and the accommodation used by contracted fishery workers. It stands directly on National Route 229 next to the Yoichi Fisheries Museum.
