Precious houses and tools that had been supporting their livelihood are displayed in the Furusatokan Museum. Among the displays, there is a cottage called “Kimarigoya,” where tenant farmers have lived. The original cottage was dismantled and reconstructed here. As 10 or more cottages with a fixed size of 6 tsubo (approx. 20 m2) were constructed, this cottage was named called the “fixed size” (“kimarikitta okisa” in Japanese). The cottages had mud walls so that people could be sheltered from the cold weather in those days.
