Sōmarō

The Sōmarō building combines traditional Japanese architectural elements with designated exhibition spaces and dining areas across multiple rooms and levels.

The establishment dates back to 1808 when it first opened as a ryōtei, and in 2008 expanded its function to include an art museum.

Sōmarō maintains its status as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property while functioning both as an art exhibition space and traditional Japanese restaurant.

Located 200 meters northwest of Sakata Station, the venue requires advance reservations for kaiseki dining experiences and art exhibition visits.

The dual-purpose facility preserves centuries-old Japanese dining traditions while simultaneously displaying art collections in the same historical structure.
