| MAEZAWA Village |
L-Shaped Farmhouses |
|
|
Maezawa Village was designated as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings by the national government in 2011.
The distinctive features of the buildings are the L-shaped curved houses with thatched roofs. As the village is an area with heavy snowfall, the Magariya houses (L-shaped curved houses) are designed so that people can live together with their precious cows and horses, who are indispensable to their lives. The protruding part in the front is for the cows and horses, while the building in the back is the living space for the people. The gables are highly designed, with skylights, wooden beams and crossbeams, carvings on the front lining, and fox lattice.
The distinctive feature of the houses is that people still live in them
today, retaining the appearance of the time. BTW, don't forget that here
is a bear habitat! |
