Gather around the irori fire pit and fully enjoy Gokayama history

The Murakami Residence is one of the most representative buildings in Gokayama, and is designated as a National Important Cultural Property. Inside the building, thousands of ethnographic materials are on display, and you can listen to the explanation of the master of the house around the open hearth. Visitors can also watch a kokiriko dance performance if they make a reservation in advance!
In the garden, there is a snow camellia named "Gokayama Shibori" that is estimated to be 300 years old and has been blooming beautifully every year, keeping an eye on the history of the Murakami family.
