Meguro-tei is a grand, historic residence of a wealthy farming family, designated as a National Important Cultural Property. Built in the late Edo period, its massive thatched roof and robust wooden structure reflect the region's traditional response to heavy snowfall. The interior features historic rooms and a traditional hearth (irori), offering a rare look into the prestigious rural life of old Niigata.
