【Chohachi Memorial Hall】
You can see the works of Chohachi Irie, a native of Matsuzaki who made a name for himself as a master plasterer craftsman in the Edo period. Chohachi Irie went to Edo at the age of 23 to study the paintings of the Kano school, while mastering the art of sculpture and plasticity, applying it to the work of plastering, and perfecting Chohachi's unique art of painting with plaster and trowel.

Chohachi worked tirelessly in Edo, but at that time there were many fires in Edo, and most of the works were destroyed by fire, and the remaining works were lost in the earthquake and war, so there are very few surviving works, except for the works that remain in Matsuzaki Town.

The memorial hall is located in Jokanji Temple, the last temple of Jodo Shinshu Nishi Honganji. This is because when Chohachi rebuilt Jokanji Temple (2nd year of Hiroka), he brought in two disciples from Edo and left the ceiling paintings, sculptures, and stucco work in the temple.

In addition, in Heisei 23 (2011), "Unryu" and "A pair of statues of Hiten" were designated as Shizuoka Prefecture Tangible Cultural Properties.

【Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property Iwashina School】 A school of sea cucumber walls and shrine-like architecture completed in Meiji 13 (1880). Incorporating the traditional architectural methods of Matsuzaki Town and Western architectural styles, it is known as the oldest school building in the Izu area as a masterpiece of wooden architecture. It is a two-story wooden hipped building, the building is symmetrical, and the exterior is a "sea cucumber wall". The Tonshi of "Iwashina School" displayed at the main entrance is the calligraphy of Sanjo Sanetomi, the Minister of Taisei at the time, and the dragon on it is said to have been carved by Chohachi Irie by borrowing the "chisel" of the building beam. It is an impressive building with a Western-style design, and is known in Japan as the second oldest after the former Rikuzawa School in Kofu and the former Kaichi School in Matsumoto, and was designated as an important cultural property of Japan in Showa 50 (1975). In Matsuzaki, there was a high enthusiasm for the promotion of education in the village, and donations were collected for the construction of the school building, and more than 40% of the total construction cost was covered by donations.
