Kitakata Kura no Sato
喜多方蔵の里Fukushima · Tohoku
An open-air museum in Kitakata where around a dozen storehouses and farm buildings have been relocated onto a 4,500-square-metre site to show the town’s storehouse-building tradition. The buildings include a shop storehouse, a miso storehouse and a bent-roof headman’s farmhouse, with interiors furnished as they were in use. Kitakata has some 4,000 kura standing across the town, and this site explains what the walking routes pass. It closes only over the New Year period.
