細井家資料館, Former family museum in Minamiaizu, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan

The Hosoi Family Museum occupied a former kura storehouse of the Hosoi family in Shizukawa, Minamiaizu, Fukushima Prefecture. Its displays gathered lacquerware made between 1745 and the Meiji era, about 207 postal documents, and relics of the Zen master Nyokatsu. The family's 1861 thatched main house and seven other buildings are registered national tangible cultural properties.

The Hosoi family served as village headmen (nanushi) in the late Edo period while running sake brewing, lacquerware and money-lending businesses. In September 1872, the year the national postal system began, they opened a post office handling point on the site. The museum occupied the family's former storehouse; its postal materials were donated to Minamiaizu Town in 2011 and are now shown in a permanent Hosoi family corner at the town-run Oku-Aizu Museum.
