The Horikiri family greatly contributed to the regional economy as village officials in the Edo period by amassing wealth and helping farmers during the famine. The current grounds are about 4,000 sq. m. The jukken-gura, Fukushima is Prefecture’s largest storehouse, which depicts life at the time and has been designated a Fukushima City tangible cultural property. Visitors can relax with a soak in the foot bath or hand bath (wheelchair users can remain seated) while looking out over the garden. It is beautiful in any season.
