Former Arikabe-juku Honjin, Historic accommodation building in Kurihara, Japan
The Former Arikabe-juku Honjin features a two-story wooden structure with a large entrance gate and traditional architectural elements from the Edo period.
Built in 1744, this official inn served as lodging for feudal lords from Matsumae, Hachinohe, Morioka, and Ichinoseki domains during their required journeys to Edo.
The building contains a raised-floor room called Jodan-no-ma, demonstrating the hierarchical layout typical of samurai architecture in northeastern Japan.
The Former Arikabe-juku Honjin stands at 31 Arikabe-honcho, Kurishiki City, and requires a 15-minute drive from Wakayanagi-Kanasaki interchange on Tohoku Expressway.
The facility maintains original documents including lodging records and administrative papers that survived over 200 years without fire damage.
