Former Higashi Shina Family Residence

"This is a building within the outdoor museum ""Gasshozukuri Minkaen"" that preserves and displays the culture of the ancient Japanese people who lived close to nature. The building made in the kiritsuma gassho-style (wooden gabled large thatched roof) using kayabuki (natural thatched straw), which was transferred to the site in 1969, is open to the public. Originally, this building was built along with the house of the family of Kiyoshiro Nakano, the village headmen for generations, after it was burnt down in a fire around 1858. It exhibits private goods and daily necessities that were actually used during the time of the former Kazura village. Four main buildings including the residence house and five attached buildings have been designated as important cultural properties of Gifu Prefecture."
