Fukushima Kaminakura Traditional House

This is a long building running north to south, with a structural strength feature of a strengthened wall on top of approximately 2-ken nagaya (row house). It is a structurally superior building. As it was originally a wealthy farmer's house, it has two floors with the characteristic entrance from under the exterior corridor. Upon entering and opening the shoji screens of the inner part, you'll find spaces with a sense of unity including the room with an open ceiling floor between the kamidana (household Shinto altar) and the adjoining room.
