This traditional Edo-era farmhouse was recently moved here from the Aoyagi district. It beautifully showcases a time when Japanese farmers lived closely with their horses and cattle, sharing their home with them as if they were family.

Along the historic Koshu Kaido highway and its surrounding areas, you can still find several Joyato, which are traditional Japanese stone lanterns. In the past, local residents shared a beautiful custom: every night, they would take turns walking to these lanterns to light a candle inside. This fire served a dual purpose—not only did it illuminate the dark roads for travelers, but it was also deeply believed that the sacred flame would bring divine protection to the community.
