Welcome to our “Machiya”!
Why not come and look around a traditional town house (the former Kuramata tea store)?
Open January 13 (Wed), 14 (Thurs), & 20 (Wed),
18:00 – 21:00; entry free
The former Kuramata tea store was built 83 years ago, in 1933, but the store began business in the Edo Period. It is now a “Machiya museum”, exhibiting objects which tell us about life in Itoigawa in the old days, including “Watako” (padded clothes for cold weather) and “Hako-makura” (wooden/ceramic pillows for traditional Japanese hairstyles). Please drop in after a delicious dinner!
