any western-style buildings remain in the district today. The area is also home to the “19 slopes of Motomachi”, of which Hachiman-zaka is the most famous and popular.

During our visit to Motomachi, my wife and I also went to Idohado Doughnuts, a unique cafe not far from the Catholic church. Please see the post linked below for more details and many photos.
