Iwase Residence 岩瀬家住宅

300 years of history behind the largest Gassho-style house in Gokayama

The Iwase Residence has stood unchanged in a beautiful mountain village setting for 300 years. Built as a 5-floor Gassho-style structure 300 years ago, it apparently had 35 family members living in it together until the Meiji Period and is now the largest surviving Gassho-style house in Japan. You can sit around a hearth listening to a talk about Gassho-style or do a tour of the attic. Souvenir gifts are also available to buy.
