The sub-drawing room
One of the impressive features here is a rare log of Japanese ceder used as a beam beneath the roof of the veranda. This 30-meter-long log and those used as beams in other parts of the building are said to have been cut down in a deep forest in the Aizu district of the neighboring prefecture and floated down the Agano River to this village. |

At the peak of the Ito family's wealth, about 60 kilos of rice was presumably cooked here daily for the 12-13 family menbers and 50 or more employees and servants (about 30 of whom lived in.)
