Yatsu no Sato

An honesty store in farming area

Yatsu no Sato is a community center of sorts in a farming area in rural Namegawa. The building has a few different rooms which are used for different reasons / functions. But the "honesty store" is open daily. An honesty store is an unstaffed store that relies on the honesty of its patrons. In the case of Yatsu no Sato, it is a very small vegetable shop. The vegetables are all laid out with prices attached. You take whatever you want to buy and put the money into the box provided. You need to tally up the cost yourself and of course no change is given. In days gone by, when the area was more populated, they used to hold events here. They still do, but nowadays only a couple a year. There is a small playground at the location. There are also toilets. Free parking for about 20 cars. Within walking distance of Hilltop farm.
