Yamamachi-Valley was reborn as a commercial complex in 2017 after renovating the former Tanimichi House, a stationery merchant in Yamamachi-suji, a merchant town that supported Takaoka's prosperity. The three-story wooden retro Western-style building blends in with the old townscape, and the stately earthen storehouses stand side by side, with freely accessible common spaces and courtyards, providing a place for communication between locals and tourists, and a place to rest and relax.
The eight warehouses house a variety of tenants, including restaurants and craft and sundry stores!
Kanematsu Shokudo, which opened in October 2020 in Ichinokura, is directly operated by a fish wholesaler in Himi, and offers everything from set meals to take-out side dishes, making it easy to enjoy a wide selection of seafood from Toyama Bay. At Craftan in Nino Storehouse No. 2, you can enjoy Toyama Prefecture's local cuisine "Kombujime" (kelp-jime) and high-quality craft beer and sake, while Matsumoto Fish Wholesale Store in Nanano-Kura offers a variety of products recommended as souvenirs and gifts, such as pickled firefly squid and gift items such as dried yellowtail and nodoro (chilled yellowtail and nodoro) overnight.

Orii Garally in Hachinokura sells original craft items such as the popular color orii blue. Traditional coloring experiences are also available at any time, so if you are interested, please make a reservation in advance before visiting the store.
A temporary baggage storage service is also available for 100 yen per baggage item, and visitors can leave their large luggage with the resident concierge when strolling around the city and take their time to look around Takaoka. The facility offers a variety of ways to enjoy yourself, including building tours, shopping, lunch, or just taking a break during a stroll!
