Former Hirayama Family Residence

4.0

This cultural property is representative of Goshogawara City. The building was designated as an important cultural property in 1978. It is notable for its practically unaltered use of the scale and style of the upper class farm houses of the Tsugaru region, the fact that the rear bedrooms are separated, and the use of double joist beams and unique walls since it was reconstructed following an earthquake. It is an important artifact and one of only a small number of structures within the prefecture that can be definitively dated.

天保年間の建築

Reviewed : 2019.05.17

五能線五所川原駅から歩いて半時間、バスの五所川原営業所から歩いて十分という表示です。交通は不便な場所ですが、それだけに穴場と言えそうで宇。母屋の建坪だけで百十坪もあります。広い屋敷と、豪華な調度に目を奪われます。
津軽地方の豪農の住宅

Reviewed : 2019.05.06

18世紀に建てられた津軽地方の豪農の住宅で、国の重要文化財に指定されています。隣にはかつて五所川原市歴史民俗資料館がありましたが、現在は閉館しています。入場は無料ですが、開館日は4月から11月までの土日祝日のみですので注意が必要かと。
