In comparison with other old towns, Kiragawa is a small village. Nonetheless, there is a certain atmosphere here which we liked very much. We were there on a quiet morning. It was very peaceful, without noisy tourists. There are just 3-4 short streets and alleys to explore. The main historical buildings are well marked on the walking trail. We stopped at a family run bakery and bought delicious freshly baked breads. The owners were very friendly and so glad we had come from Singapore to visit Kiragawa and their bakery. We took happy memories of Kiragawa away with us.
