Hikari Furusato Kyodokan

Reference/Local/Exhibition/Literature Museum

Shunan / Kudamatsu / Hikari / Kasado IslandArea

"A local museum established for the 50th anniversary of the municipality as one of its ""hometown creation"" projects. It consists of a main building and an annex restored by the Isobe family who owned a soy sauce shop under the name ""Isotami (later Isoya)"" from the Edo period to the mid-1950s. The Isobe Honke building is a unique merchant house structure colloquially called an unagi no nedoko (eel bed). The long two-story wooden building with narrow frontage recalls the prosperity of the port town of Murozumi. Exhibits on the kitamaebune ships that called at Murozumi during the Edo period, displays of equipment used for soy sauce brewing, and other displays let you learn about the lifestyles and culture of those days."
