About this place

A large farmhouse residence in Joso, Ibaraki, based on a "four-room plan" with the main house greatly extended in the late Edo period. The earthen-floored area on the east and the south-facing guest room show the character of a large farmhouse, and it was designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan in 1968 (Showa 43). It is now open to the public as the Mitsukaido Local History Museum and has often been used as a location for films and dramas.
