Nambu Clan Thatched Roof Kikusuikan Old Gallery "Chigaya"
Kikusuikan in Osawa Onsen was once a hot spring inn.
This historic hot spring inn was visited by Kenji Miyazawa and Kotaro Takamura.
The building has been renovated and is now used as the "Chigaya" gallery.
This rare thatched building, believed to have been built by the Nambu Clan, has been renovated and reborn as a multi-purpose hall.
