Local Pick
Overview
Remote mountain hamlet with 200-year-old four-story thatched farmhouses buried in deep snow.
Deep in the mountains south of Tsuruoka, the hamlet of Tamugimata preserves thatched-roof multi-story farmhouses that once sheltered silkworm cultivation on upper floors. The 200-year-old Tanooka family house stands four stories tall with massive snow-bearing beams, a living example of Tohoku mountain architecture. Snow here regularly exceeds three meters, and the village feels frozen in the Edo period.
