Located to the north of the Musuem of History and Folklore, the Waki Honjin was established in 1641 (Kan’ei 18), when the number of people on horseback traveling through the post station of Okoshi Juku increased. After being passed down by four generations of the Sataro household, the property was acquired by the Hayashi family in 1720 (Kyoho 5). The garden was constructed from the early Showa period until halfway through 1936 (Showa 11). Featuring a “sukinkutsu,” an earthenware jar buried upside down with a hole at the top end, the sound of water droplets reverberating inside the jar invokes a deep sense of serenity.
The Former Hayashi House is a nationally registered tangible cultural property.
The parking lot is shared with the Museum of History and Folklore.
In typical years, the Momiji (Maple) Festival is held in late November.
