Heike Yashiki Museum of Folklore, Folk museum in Nishiiyayamamura Higashinishioka, Japan.
The museum occupies a thatched-roof house from 1867 with a traditional irori hearth, displaying antique collections and historical artifacts from the Iya region.
The museum stands on land where Heike Samurai settled 800 years ago, with the house belonging to descendants of Naiki Horikawa, Emperor Antoku's personal physician.
Inside the main residence, visitors observe daily fire-lighting rituals at the traditional hearth while examining centuries-old artifacts that reflect Japanese rural life.
The museum operates from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM between March and November, and from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM from December to February, with adult admission at 500 yen.
The property includes one of the last remaining kura storage buildings in the Iya Valley, featuring exterior wall paintings of water waves and jumping rabbits.
