鰊番屋

About this museum

Nestled along the historic coastal route, this restored banya (fishery storehouse) offers a glimpse into the maritime life of northern Japan's herring fishing communities. Visitors explore a meticulously preserved family residence that captures the architectural and cultural essence of a traditional nishin fishing settlement. Complimentary admission allows guests to wander through rooms that eloquently narrate the region's economic and social heritage through carefully maintained artifacts and spatial design.
