Through the gate "Saijo Sakagura-dori Tourist Information Center"

This building is representative of Saijo Sakagura-dori Street, with its lattice windows, white walls, and tea-tiled roofs.

On the west side is the Saijo Sakagura-dori Tourist Information Center, which houses a rest area, toilets, and a multi-purpose space, while on the east side is the Kugurimon Coffee Shop. As a base for sightseeing along Saijo Sakagura-dori Street, the Saijo Sakagura-dori Tourist Information Center provides useful information for sightseeing, such as tourist maps, the day's opening times of the breweries, tasting information, and event information.
