更上閣

The Kojokaku features traditional Japanese architectural elements, incorporating temple design aspects within its pure Japanese style construction from the Meiji period.

Built for the Izumiyama family between the Meiji and early Showa periods, the structure received recognition as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 2003.

The garden contains a century-old reclining dragon pine tree among other tall and short trees, representing traditional Japanese landscaping principles.

The facility operates from 9 AM to 9 PM and includes a parking area for 11 vehicles, with spaces available for exhibitions, meetings, and dance performances.

During February, the property hosts special Hachinohe Enburi performances in its garden, connecting traditional dance with historical architecture.
