It is a World Heritage Site, but it is lit up three times a year. The other day, there was a winter illumination event, so I went there. This time, I made a reservation half a year ago, so I was able to stay lodging in a 200-year-old gassho-zukuri minshuku, and thanks to that, I was able to fully enjoy the nostalgic original scenery of Japan. In addition to the illumination at night, the quiet early morning walk, which is only possible for those who stayed at the lodging, was exceptional.

Currently, the domestic demand development center "Mokurakukan" is displaying pamphlets about tourist spots in Engaru Town made by fifth-grade students of Minami Elementary School. In order to convey the charm of Engaru Town, they did a lot of research and created it. Please come and see it ♪ In addition, we sell a large number of wooden goods for the "Hinamatsuri". We look forward to seeing you at "Kigakukan"!

Izu-Buntei Built in 1910 (Meiji 43), Izu-Buntei once housed a kimono merchant. In Matsuzaki, the town received the building as a donation from its owner and restored the interior as a valuable historic Meiji-era structure. It is now open as a free rest area. A footbath is also installed in the park beside Izu-Buntei.

Photographed on February 26 The early-blooming Oshima cherry in Nagisa Elementary Park is now at its best. This large cherry is said to be a cultivar created by crossing Oshima-zakura with Somei-yoshino, and it usually reaches peak bloom from early to mid-March each year. Perhaps because temperatures have been high this year, it is already in full bloom! The tree has many flower buds and is truly impressive. Nagisa Elementary Park Address / Nagisacho, Atami City (in front of the third section of the waterfront park)

Meiji Merchant House Nakase Residence The Nakase Residence was built in 1887 (Meiji 20) as the home of prosperous cloth merchant Naokichi Yoda (Yoda Naokichi Gofukuten). Because the shop name of Yoda Naokichi Gofukuten was “Nakase,” the house is now known as the Nakase Residence. In 1998 (Showa 63), Matsuzakicho purchased the large estate—seven buildings including the main house and storehouses—and opened the main house to the public as an ethnographic museum. The building showcases lavish craftsmanship, from its timberwork to its fine carvings and metal fittings, offering a glimpse into the life of a wealthy merchant of the era. In particular, the black-lacquered namako-style plaster wall finish of the storehouse built inside the main house can only be seen here in Matsuzakicho.

Shizuoka Prefecture Designated Cultural Property: Former Yoda Residence In 2010 (Heisei 22), the cluster of buildings that make up the Yoda family residence was designated as a Tangible Cultural Property (buildings) by Shizuoka Prefecture. The designation covers five structures: the main house built about 300 years ago, a detached guest room built about 200 years ago, and three storehouses erected in the late Tokugawa period—the tool storehouse, the rice storehouse, and the miso storehouse. According to tradition, the main house was constructed over 13 years during the Genroku era. Its exterior is a namako-wall style common in Matsuzaki, but every element down to the rafters is coated in plaster, and copper-sheeted fire shutters were installed at the eaves, making it a fully fire-resistant structure. This is a large-scale folk house built for a wealthy village headman family, and among folk houses in the Izu region it ranks as the second oldest building.

Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property Iwashina School Completed in 1880 (Meiji 13), this school features namako walls and shrine-temple–style architecture. Blending Matsuzaki’s traditional building techniques with Western architectural elements, the structure is celebrated as a masterpiece of wooden construction and the oldest school building in the Izu region. This two-story wooden hipped-roof building is symmetrical, and its exterior is finished in namako walls. The nameplate above the main entrance, reading “Iwashina School,” bears the calligraphy of Sanjo Sanetomi, then Lord Minister of the Interior, and the dragon carved above it is said to have been whittled by master carpenter Irie Chohachi using only a chisel he borrowed. With its striking Western-influenced design, the building ranks among Japan’s older Western-style schools, alongside Kofu’s former Rikusawa School and Matsumoto’s former Kaichi School. It was designated a National Important Cultural Property in 1975 (Showa 50). In Matsuzaki, strong local support for education raised donations to build the school; more than 40 percent of the total construction cost came from contributions.

Chohachi Art Museum You can see works by Irie Chohachi, a master plasterer from Matsuzaki who gained renown in the Edo period. At 23 he went to Edo, studied Kano school painting, and mastered sculpting techniques that he adapted to his plastering craft. He developed his own art of painting with plaster and trowel on stucco. Chohachi worked actively in Edo, but many buildings there were lost to frequent fires and the remaining works were largely destroyed by earthquake and war, so only a very small number of his pieces survive outside those in Matsuzakicho. The museum is located inside Jokanji, a branch temple of the Jodo Shinshu Nishi Honganji sect. Chohachi brought two pupils from Edo to help rebuild Jokanji in 1845 (Koka 2), leaving ceiling paintings, carvings, and stucco work in the temple that are among his preserved pieces. In 2011 (Heisei 23), his works "Cloud Dragon" and a pair of "Flying Deities" were designated tangible cultural properties of Shizuoka Prefecture.
