This facility is located in the Ochiai village of Higashi Iya. Generally speaking, villages are formed at the foot of a mountain, followed by fields, which is the so-called ``Japanese satoyama landscape.'' However, the village of Iya was carved into the slope of a mountain. Ochiai village is a village with a height difference of approximately 390 meters, and old private houses built from the middle to late Edo period are still dotted around the cliffs. These old private houses have structures and floor plans typical of mountain villages, and together with the village roads that wind through the village, and the surrounding stone walls and cultivated land, they create a unique landscape. In 2005, in recognition of the rarity of this historical landscape, the entire village was selected as an Important Preservation District for Groups of Traditional Buildings. https://www.tougenkyo-iya.jp/
