Former Honda Sake Brewery
The Honda Family is an old-established family that has been running a brewery in the Kōjiro town centre for generations.
The existing building is a two-storey wooden structure, built in the Meiji period (1868-1912 ). The family residence and the shop are in the same building.
The exterior walls are plastered with white plaster for fire protection purposes, and the traditional architectural style of the roof and windows has been preserved to the present day.
The shop area on the ground floor, facing the road, is over 40 square metres in size. The pillars are made of large machilus trees, suggesting the prosperity of the Honda family in the past.
The building is a valuable example of a traditional Kōjiro merchant house.
