The small electric car hums into a narrow lane, lacquered white storehouses sliding past like pages in a history book. Wind teases the paper lanterns; stone steps climb toward the low ridge where the castle ruins keep watch. Riding this retro EV through Izushi’s compact streets feels like stealing time—short bursts of view, a sudden courtyard, the clack of geta from a nearby guesthouse.
