The Hatago Kii-Kuniya Museum, located in Arai, Kosai City, is a beautifully preserved former lodging house that once served as an official inn for the Kishu (Wakayama) domain. Reconstructed in the early Meiji era, the building retains many Edo-period architectural elements. Visitors can explore the meticulously restored interiors, including the kitchen, bath, and guest rooms, to get a sense of life during that time. The museum is conveniently located near the Araimachi Station and is easily accessible. A combined ticket with the Arai Checkpoint Museum is available. It's a must-see for those interested in history and traditional Japanese architecture.
