Journeys to unknown destination in Japan

Do you know "Magariya" ?




"Magariya" is one of the architectural styles of traditional houses (private houses), and refers to L-shaped flat houses as opposed to rectangular flat straight houses (Sugoya). The interior consists of a livestock breeding space, a work / storage space, and a living space.

Maezawa Magariya Village, located in South Aizu Town, Fukushima Prefecture Japan, is a village that still retains the original scenery of Japanese agricultural and mountain villages. In 1907, a large fire struck that almost all the houses in the village disappeared, and then the same carpenter group in the surrounding area built each house at one time, creating a unified landscape. In June 2011, it was designated as a national "Important Traditional Buildings Preservation District" for this unified landscape protection.
There are 20 traditional houses in the village, including 13 Magariyas, and people still live here.

In addition, there are old folk house cafe "Irori", soba restaurant "Magariya", "Maezawa Magariya Museum", watermill, iris garden, etc., and you can enjoy the nostalgic scenery of Japan slowly.





Please stop by when you visit from Shiobara Onsen, to Minamiaizu Town's Tokusa Hot spring, Yunohana Hot spring, or even Oze in Hinoemata Village. It's a really great place.
