An old Japanese house of a wealthy family. Wouldn't imagine such a place existed in such a small town. Worth the visit.

Fabulous collection of Edo and Meiji period antiques and curiousities on a wonderful historic property.

Sairi Yashiki is an old Japanese businessman's home of the traditional architecture with multiple stone warehouses, a stone bath house turned museum. They have many family treasures exhibited in the each of the buildings. One Meiji era styled house has a model of the ancient town of Marumori exhibited on the second floor. Various special events are held there during the year. The event today was a performance by the traveling international Tohoku Art Circus 2019 with 22 artists from 12 countries in coordination with the Marumori Japanese Traditional Drum Troupe. I took my 6 children for an international cultural experience. During the week, from Tuesday through Sunday, 9:00AM ~ 5:00 PM, the Sairi Yashiki is open to the public as a museum of traditional/historical artifacts and home items. The buildings themselves are beautiful Japanese construction - art in itself. There is ample parking for cars and tourist buses within three minutes walking distance from the museum.

Very pretty place. The entrance fee was around 600 yen. There were so many dolls!! The place is very well kept and inside the main hall, there is an old man who grilled mochi for us and told us about the history of the dolls. The place also has a museum on the history of the occupants of the house. No English support is provided though.

Very small village where this is the only tourist attraction, apart from the small farmers market opposite. Interesting site though.

The festival was a blast, but other than that it needs more to attract tourists.

Loved it

(Translated by Google) The site of a wealthy merchant's mansion that has been in business for seven generations since the late Edo period. It is said that it is called Sairi because the head of the family for generations called himself Risuke. He ran a business in Marumori until 1950, after which he moved to Sendai and donated his land and house to the town. Admission fee is 620 yen. I was wondering if it would be a weekday and there would be no people so I could take my time. It was cloudy, but it was hot inside the brewery, and I was drenched in sweat☀️😵💦 This time of year, it's painful to wear a mask. I almost got a heat stroke. I think it's better after it cools down. (Original) 江戸後期より七代続いた豪商の屋敷跡。代々の当主が理助を名乗ったことから齋理とよばれるそうです。 昭和25年まで丸森で商売を営んできて、その後、仙台に移り住んでから、土地と家屋を町に寄贈され、昭和63年に蔵の郷土館と開館のようです。 入館料620円。 平日で人も居なくてゆっくりみれるかな～っと思ってました。 曇りだったのですが、蔵の中は暑く、汗が半端ない☀️😵💦 この時期は、マスク着用では、辛い。熱中症になりかけました。涼しくなってからの方が良いと思います。

Good place. Amazing Taigo drum performance.
