This house, with a nickname of Ottobatake, was built sometime during Showa period and renovated at several different times. Nowhere seems to remain as it was at the time of construction, but this house keeps nevertheless the atmosphere of Showa. Here, you can feel and experience a life that ordinary local people live.
