An open-air museum preserving a 300-year-old farmhouse from the mid-Edo period. The former Tomioka family residence was relocated and restored after being dismantled in 1988 for highway construction. The park opened in 2006 and is designated as a Wako City cultural property.
Yes. Remove your shoes to enter the interior and view the wooden rooms, tatami spaces, and traditional irori (sunken hearth). The structure features thatched roofing and solid pine and cedar columns.
Seasonal events include harvest festivals, traditional craft workshops (bamboo flute making, pickling vegetables), agricultural tool demonstrations, white cotton cultivation activities, and traditional games like beigoma (spinning tops).
The park has traditional gravel paths and the historic farmhouse features steps at the entrance. Wheelchair accessibility is limited due to the authentic Edo-period design of the buildings and grounds.
The park is near Wako Jurin Park and several temples including Seiryu-ji Fudoin Temple and Kumano Shrine, making it easy to visit multiple sites in one trip from Wakoshi Station.
