Since the beginning of time, towns and cities located on a marine coastline have been deemed to be the local centres of trade and commerce. The principle at work was easy to understand - they were the initial destination of all the trade ships coming to the state. With the refined logistical solutions, such as air transportation and advanced motorways, the imported commodities were often left in the seaport cities for the folks from all around the country to come and buy them. Even though we have already entered the third decade of the 21st century, some of the cities have managed to preserve the unique spirit of marketing splendour. Shops in Koge are a vivid manifestation of how rich traditions can serve as a basis for securing the region’s bright economic future.
