Taşhan, located on Gaziosmanpaşa Street in the center of Tokat, is one of the largest actively used inns I have seen in Anatolia. It was built during the Ottoman period and has survived intact since then. It is a building where all kinds of local products are sold in the rectangular inn, and at the same time, master artists still produce by hand on the upper floors. You can buy many rare products specific to Tokat here. The shopkeepers are friendly and polite, so you will be both informed and happy while visiting the inn. I definitely recommend you to see and visit.
