Former Hongo Family Residence

The former residence of the Hongo family, one of the three largest landlords in Akita during the Meiji period. As the architectural characteristics of each time period from late Edo period to the Showa period are clearly presented in 1996 the main building, western-style building, library, and miso storage were registered as Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan. The houses of these former landowners, the Hongo family, Kitashima family, and Arakawa family, stand in a row and the former Arakawa family residence is now open to the public as an information center for the area.
