Sugi Footwear and Souvenirs
Sugi Footwear and Souvenirs opened around 1947 as a specialty footwear shop. In those days, they handled everything from shoes to traditional sandals made of wood or straw. Now, it's been renewed as a souvenir and footwear shop. It's one of the only places you can buy Kanba Falls Rice Crackers. The noren that hangs in front of this shop features a pair of vivid red wooden sandals set against a background of garden-stone gray. This is the third one they've commissioned for their shop. They have another large noren with a wooden sandal design over their door at home. Please be sure to look for it! |
