  • Hokkoku Kaido Tsumairi Kaikan
    Leisure / Hobbies
    Niigata Santo-gun Izumozakimachi Amaze 166
    “Tsumairi” is a Japanese architectural style in which the entrance is placed on one of the sides, or “tsuma.” During the Edo period, buildings were taxed based on the width of their frontage, resulting in large numbers of these long, narrow tsumairi houses standing side by side. Echigo once boasted the highest population density in the country, and Izumozaki flourished as a post station town on the old Hokkoku Highway. This facility, standing on a piece of flat ground sandwiched between a small hill and the Sea of Japan, reproduces the traditional layout of a tsumairi home and serves as a rest area for tourists and as a community gathering space. Inside, visitors can learn more about traditional architecture and its historical background, as well as tourist destinations in Izumozaki. Many tourists stop here to take a break in between exploring the town.

    Niigata Santo-gun Izumozaki Machi Amaze 6-57
    A cultural facility adjoining Roadside Station Echigo-Izumozaki Tenryo-no-Sato. Inside, the facility contains a recreation of a townscape consisting of homes and businesses designed in the distinctive “tsumairi” style of Izumozaki, enabling visitors to go back in time and experience what the area looked like when it was a brilliant and bustling “tenryo” town under the direct control of the shogunate government. Through lighting and audio; and recreations of a magistrate’s ship and office, kitamaebune cargo ship, and Edo period townscape, visitors can immerse themselves in the majesty and atmosphere of the Edo period. Visitors can also decorate and create their own original paper balloon by pasting colored paper to a blank paper balloon, see a recreation of the birth home of the priest and poet Ryokan, and learn about the many writers and artists who visited and depicted Izumozaki.

    Nigata Pref. Kashiwazakishi Oumigawa 181

Mr. Shoji Iwashita from Kashiwazaki displays roughly 9,000 items from his personal 50,000 item collection. Chigo means infatuation and enjoyment. Most of the items in the exhibition have a rustic feel to them, made by craftsman whose names are no longer known, but who put a lot of heart into creating these toys. A few items are no longer made and incredibly valuable, such as the ambassador dolls known as blue-eyed dolls made in the early Showa period.
