Located in the castle town of the Hirosaki castle, the Ishiba House was designated as Important Cultural Property, and it is still in use as merchant house.
It was perfectly preserved as it was during the Edo period, the only change being the merchandise: originally a sundry goods store, it is now a sake shop.
