Maezawa Magariya Village
Old houses warmed by the wisdom of the snowy country
Maezawa Village relays the history of Okuaizu. This settlement was started when Kokatsu Nyudo Takusai, a subordinate of Yamauchi Ujikatsu, the lord of Yokota Castle, moved to this area in the late 16th century. In addition to the L-shaped folk houses, there is a restored watermill and a museum that provides information on folk culture. The village received Important Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Buildings certification from the Agency for Cultural Affairs in 2011.
