Gono no Yakata Northern Culture Museum (Itotei)

Description

This was a residence of the Ito Family, the largest landowners in Niigata from the Meiji to the Showa Period. To get around the agricultural land reform, this home became a museum. The architecture, artworks, and garden are all sterling and worth seeing as a slice of Niigata's culture. Of particular fascination is the scenery from the great hall, which changes with the seasons. Feel free to snap photos anywhere in the building.
