A sightseeing facility with nationally registered tangible cultural materials that evoke a sense of history

The former Horikiri-tei was the home of a wealthy farmer and merchant who lived in the area since the Edo period (1603-1868). The house still contains buildings of high historical value, including the largest and oldest existing storehouse in the prefecture, the ”Jumen-kura,” built in 1775, and the main house, a modern Japanese style residence. There is a beautiful garden where visitors can feel the changing of the seasons, and exhibition spaces in the ”new storehouse,” ”middle storehouse,” and ”tool storehouse” are also full of attractions.

Relax in the footbath and handbath with free-flowing spring water!

Across the street from the Jukenzo, you can enjoy a free footbath and handbath. Please be sure to heal your tired feet after a day of sightseeing in Iizaka in the hot springs.

Enjoy seasonal events

The museum holds a variety of events each season, such as a wind chime festival, decorations for decorated dolls, and the lighting up of parasols, so you will always have something new to discover.
