Visit the Koiwai Farm No. 1 & No. 2 Silos, Japan's oldest existing silos, constructed in the late Meiji period. These impressive brick structures, designated as Important Cultural Properties, stand within the Kamimaru cattle barn area, offering a glimpse into the farm's rich history. While the base is now reinforced with concrete, the silos retain their original charm. Explore the surrounding historical buildings and museum to learn more about Koiwai Farm's heritage. Located a short distance from the popular Makiba Garden, the silos provide a quieter, more contemplative experience. The best time to visit is during the afternoon to capture the scenic views.
