Northern Culture Museum
City: Niigata
The former main residence of the Ito family, known far and wide as the biggest landowners in Niigata prefecture. This magnificent building, constructed over eight years from 1882, is now the home of the Northern Culture Museum. Weathered long severe winters, visitors can see for themselves the lifestyle of a wealthy farmer from times gone by. Step inside to find yourself transported back to a mellow piece of the Meiji Era. Let your mind sink into the redolent atmosphere and enjoy an enriching, fulfilling experience.
