Hello! I’m Hitapapa and I love Mojiko retro.
This time we will introduce “Holme Ringer & Co.,Ltd”, located about a 2-minute walk from JR Mojiko Station!
This Western-style building was constructed in 1962 and is designated as a national tangible cultural property.

Currently, he is running an agency for foreign ships .

It is a small, two-story Western-style building with a cute exterior.
