The name of “kudo style” derives from the u-shaped roofs, which were considered to look like the smoke outlet of a furnace called “kudo.” This type of traditional houses are scattered widely in the southern part of Saga Prefecture. Some of those in the Itaya Area were built especially in the early age and one of them is designated as a national cultural property. At “Bansen No Sato,” a farmer shop located in the area, you can buy local agricultural products of Taku.
