Korea Family Residence

Overview

The Korea Family Residence was built during the Keicho era as the home of the Korea family, who served as priests at Korea Shrine. As an extremely important example of an old-style East Japan farmhouse, it was designated as a Nationally Important Cultural Property in 1976. This residence is where the Korea family once lived. The building, with its thatched gabled roof, evokes the lifestyle of that time. Inside, you'll find several exhibits that offer glimpses into daily life then. The Korea Family Residence is surrounded by the expansive grounds of Korea Shrine. The grounds feature centuries-old giant trees, offering beautiful scenery throughout the year. Korea Shrine itself holds various legends connected to the Goryeo Dynasty, making it a fascinating place for history buffs. Visiting the Korea Family Residence together with Korea Shrine is highly recommended. It's a place to relax and soak in the history.
