旧矢掛本陣石井家

The Ishii Family Former Honjin contains multiple structures across 3,300 square meters, including reception halls, guest quarters, and sake brewing facilities.

The Ishii family received their official appointment as honjin operators in 1635, serving as premium lodging for feudal lords during their mandatory journeys to Edo.

The preserved buildings demonstrate the architectural standards for high-ranking accommodation facilities along the Sanyo Highway during the Edo period.

The complex opens from 9:00 to 17:00 between March and October, and 9:00 to 16:00 from November to February, with admission fees of 500 yen for adults.

The buildings contain authentic sake production facilities from the late Edo period, reflecting the family's concurrent roles as innkeepers and sake brewers.
