1.What is Sankyo Soko? —A historical heritage that supported Shonai rice

参考：https://bunka.nii.ac.jp/heritages/detail/580936

Sankyo Warehouse, a unique tourist resource and one of Japan’s leading historical assets, is a hallmark of Sakata and Shonai’s rich rice-growing history. Its active use as a warehouse from the Meiji era through to the Reiwa era is a testament to its rich history.

Firstly, Sankyo Warehouse was built in 1893 (Meiji 26) by the Sakai family as an auxiliary warehouse for the Sakata Rice Exchange, and was designed to efficiently collect and store Shonai rice. Furthermore, the building’s advanced architectural techniques are utilized throughout, including the incorporation of zelkova trees surrounding it and a double-roof structure (insulated and ventilated) to protect the rice from the summer heat and humidity. As a result, it continued to operate as an agricultural warehouse for an incredible 129 years, until 2022, and supported the region’s economic activity.

“Zelkova Row”: Over 35 zelkova trees, each over 150 years old, were planted here, providing natural shading from the western sun, wind, and rain.

“Double Roof”: Air spaces are created inside and outside the roof, providing both insulation and ventilation. The design protects the rice from moisture and rising temperatures.

“Earthen storehouse construction”: The white-walled earthen storehouse structure resists high humidity and fire, and nine remain in active use today.

Furthermore, in March 2021, the storehouses were designated as a national historic site (according to the Agency for Cultural Affairs’ Cultural Heritage Database), and preservation and maintenance efforts are underway by Sakata City.

In recognition of these technological innovations and historical value, the Sankyo Storehouses have become more than just a tourist attraction; they are a “living industrial heritage site” that contributes to regional revitalization.。

1-1.The roots of Yamagata and Sakata as a rice town

参考：https://www.ana.co.jp/ana_news/2017/06/13/20170613-1.html

Sakata developed as a distribution center for Shonai rice from the Edo period onwards, thanks to Kitamaebune and Mogami River shipping, and Sankyo Warehouse is its symbolic core facility.

In the 17th century, under the Sakai family of the Shonai domain, a shipping route connecting the Mogami River and the Sea of ​​Japan was developed. In particular, from 1684 onwards, thanks to the Nishimawari shipping route promoted by Kawamura Zuiken, Sakata Port became one of the country’s leading port towns for rice shipments.

Sankyo Warehouse was built on an island in the Arida River, providing ideal geographical conditions for shipping. After the Meiji period, documents still remain showing that it was used as a “rice certificate warehouse” and in the 1910s for the rice futures trading system.

Built on this distribution infrastructure, Sankyo Warehouse is a landmark that supported the region’s agricultural and economic development, and is a valuable asset both historically and culturally.えます。

1-2.The story behind rice storage warehouses established during the Meiji period

参考：https://x.gd/wa7DW

Sankyo Warehouse was designed as an advanced rice warehouse to preserve the quality of Shonai rice and promote its trade in line with the industrial development of the Meiji period.

With the transition to a monetary economy, rice evolved from a simple food source into a commodity and investment target, leading to the establishment of a rice exchange. A facility for the stable storage of high-quality rice was therefore required, and Sankyo Warehouse was constructed in 1893 as an attached warehouse to the Sakata Rice Exchange.

Designed by master carpenter Takahashi Kanekichi, it incorporated a ventilation design with white walls, a double roof, and windows built using earthen storehouse techniques.

The white walls kept out moisture, and the windows allowed heat from the rice bales to escape.

This structure ensured the warehouse had an ideal year-round storage environment with low temperatures and humidity.

The Sankyo Warehouse that was born in this way was more than just a building; it functioned as a base for the rice industry, combining scientific knowledge and artisanal techniques.

1-3.Its role as a warehouse remains active to this day

参考：https://rtrp.jp/articles/116111/

Nine of the Sankyo Warehouses remained in active use as agricultural warehouses until 2022, serving as “living facilities” that tell the story of modern rice distribution.

Since the Meiji period, through the national rice management system and handover to JA Zennoh Yamagata (formerly Shonai Economic Federation), the warehouses have continued to be preserved to the present day, and as a result, some of them have continued to operate for approximately 129 years, from 1993 to 2022.

Although their function as active warehouses ceased in September 2022, they had previously been used by JA for long-term storage and quality control of Shonai rice.

Currently, one building has been converted into the Shonai Rice History Museum, and two have been converted into a tourist and souvenir shop called “Sakata Yume no Kura,” while the other nine buildings have been preserved almost exactly as they were.

In this way, the Sankyo Warehouses are not only a tourist attraction, but also a valuable industrial heritage site that continued to function uninterrupted from the Edo, Meiji, Showa, and Reiwa eras.です。

2. Three experiences you can have at Sankyo Souko

Walking along the white walls and zelkova trees of Sankyo Warehouse allows you to experience firsthand the history that spans from the Meiji period to the Reiwa era, as well as the atmosphere woven from local wisdom and beautiful scenery.

First, Sankyo Warehouse is a group of white-walled earthen warehouses built in 1893. The zelkova trees were planted as a natural barrier to protect against the strong summer sun and the wind and snow from the Sea of ​​Japan. Just walking along the approximately 200-meter stretch of 35 zelkova trees, each over 150 years old, gives you a strong sense of the depth of history and the changing seasons.

White walls and earthen storehouses: The tiled roofs and thick earthen walls provide insulation and protection to manage humidity and temperature, and the architectural structure was originally designed to preserve the quality of rice.

Zelkova trees: The shade provided by the approximately 150-year-old zelkova trees creates a changing atmosphere throughout the seasons, with fresh greenery in spring, autumn leaves in autumn, and snow-covered scenery in winter.

Cobblestones and scenery: The tree-lined streets are paved with cobblestones, allowing you to stroll leisurely along the picturesque path that was also used as a filming location for the TV drama “Oshin.”

Sakata Yume no Kura, formerly located within the Sankyo Warehouse, was a valuable spot where visitors could experience local culture by enjoying Shonai rice and other local specialties.

Based on the concept of “All Sakata,” this facility offered a carefully selected selection of regional brands, including Shonai rice, local sake, and crafts. It was also a place where visitors could experience the charm of the region with all five senses through the gourmet food and shopping that only a tourist and souvenir shop could offer.

Kou no Yakata: A wide variety of local ingredients, including Shonai rice, local sake, side dishes, and sweets, delighted both the eyes and the palate.

Hana no Yakata: Exhibiting traditional crafts and festival culture such as Kamekasaboko floats, it served as an opportunity to learn about Sakata’s historical background.

Sankyo Soko is a tourist destination where you can experience the changing seasons firsthand, offering a rich and different feel throughout each season.

Firstly, the rows of zelkova trees, some over 150 years old, change appearance with each season, providing visitors with beautiful scenery and an emotional resonance. The seasonal scenery is perfect for taking photos and for peace of mind.

Spring (fresh greenery): In early May, when new buds sprout, the pale green of the zelkova trees contrasts vividly with the white-walled warehouse. Walking through the “tunnel of fresh greenery” on the walking path will soothe your soul.

Summer (cool breeze): From June to July around the summer solstice, the deep shade of the trees blocks the sunlight, and the cool breeze blowing from behind is comfortable. The stroll is like walking through a natural air conditioner.

Autumn (Autumn Leaves): From late October to early November, the zelkova trees turn red and yellow, and a carpet of fallen leaves spreads across the cobblestone streets, making for atmospheric seasonal photos.

Winter (Silence): From January to February, the snow-covered white-walled warehouse and the silhouette of the zelkova trees create a tranquil, mystical landscape. The snowy scenery allows you to enjoy the wabi-sabi aesthetic unique to snowy regions.

3-2.Must-see for photography lovers! Best angles and times for shooting

参考：https://en-photo.net/case/04

For photography enthusiasts, we recommend visiting during the “golden time” by carefully calculating the time and angle.

The beauty of the buildings and trees lining the street is accentuated by the angle of light, shadows, and color shading, resulting in even more dramatic photos.

Morning backlighting (approximately 5:00 AM – 7:00 AM): The morning sun shines on the warehouses to the east, allowing for backlit shots with the white walls softly shining. The silhouettes of the zelkova trees also stand out.

Just before sunset (approximately 4:30 PM – 6:00 PM): This is the “magic hour,” when the setting sun filters through the leaves of the zelkova trees lining the street, casting long shadows on the cobblestones. This, combined with the autumn foliage, allows for colorful photos.

Night illumination (sunset – 10:00 PM): The warehouses and trees lining the street are lit up, creating a fantastical atmosphere different from that seen during the day. Long exposures allow for dramatic compositions that make use of light trails.

3-3.　3 recommended photo spots for photography enthusiasts

Within Sankyo Warehouse, there are many photo spots with compositions and seasonal themes that photography enthusiasts love. Among them, we’ll introduce three spots in particular where you can capture beautiful shots even on your first visit.

This is because impactful compositions and backgrounds are important elements for photography enthusiasts and tourists looking to post on social media.

Zelkova Tree-Lined Tunnel Composition

The composition of the warehouse lined up in a straight line with the green arch of the trees naturally utilizes a photographic composition technique called a “Leading Line.” *Leading Line: A composition technique that guides the eye into the frame.

Close-up of the White-Walled Warehouse Through the Stone Paving

By capturing the stone paving in a large foreground shot from a low angle and placing the warehouse in the background, the sense of depth and texture are emphasized.

Zelkova Tree Silhouette Through the Night Illumination

A backlit shot with the illuminated warehouse in the background and the zelkova tree silhouette in the foreground creates a fashionable image.

These three spots are perfect for seasonal photography.節や時間を問わず絵になる構図であり、初めてでもSNS映えする写真が撮影できるおすすめポイントです。

4-3.A local photographer talks about the appeal of Sankyo Soko

参考：https://www.kitamura.jp/shasha/sony/landscape-9-20230119/

According to a local photographer, Sankyo Soko is a fusion of “light and shadow” and “history and nature,” and capturing these contrasts can result in a breathtaking photo.

The photographer says that by focusing on the layered composition (white-walled warehouses x rows of zelkova trees x cobblestones) and natural light, the architectural beauty of the subject and the sense of the seasons are accentuated. This is because the contrast between the form and light gives the space depth.

Compositional tips: Keeping the “Leading Line” in mind and creating a composition where the rows of zelkova trees invite the viewer into the distance will enhance the visual impact.

How to make the most of light: In the early morning, backlighting emphasizes the silhouette, while in the evening, the setting sun casts soft shadows on the brick and white walls, beautifully bringing out the green of the zelkova leaves.

Relationship between seasons and light: In spring, fresh green leaves and soft morning light harmonize, while in autumn, the autumn leaves and golden sunset create a deeper atmosphere.

By incorporating a photographer’s perspective, it becomes possible to capture dramatic moments that would go unnoticed on a normal stroll, greatly increasing the satisfaction of visitors.
