The neighborhoods of Moriyama, Kifune, and Konmadashi were once prosperous as
the commercial center of Takaoka. The storehouse-style townhouses
that line the streets in this area date back to the Great
Fire of 1900, after which only fire-proofed houses could
be built. The Sugano House is a particularly fine example
that displays the wealth of the Takaoka merchants of the
Meiji Period.
