Kinshi Masamune Horino Memorial Museum

Dating back to the 18th century, the Kinshi Masamune Horino Memorial Museum is housed in a well-preserved machiya, a traditional wooden townhouse that captures the architectural essence of Old Kyoto. This historic sake-brewing house offers visitors a glimpse into the ancient process of fermenting and bottling sake. The interior, with its latticed design, showcases the minimalist elegance typical of such structures. Today, visitors can explore the museum to understand the traditional methods of sake production and appreciate the serene, understated beauty of the machiya.
