軽井沢町の歴史を深堀り出来る所です。
軽井沢宿 沓掛宿 追分宿の歴史をゆ
ゆっくり知る事が出来ました。

当日の時間帯は誰もいない穴場スポットでした。昔の宿場にタイムスリップ✨たまには歴史を振り返る時間も大切と思わせて頂きました！

軽井沢の追分にある展示館です。主に中山道と北国街道の合流地である追分宿の歴史が見られます。

追分はトコトコ歩くのですがちょっとイメージと違う気もします。笑
でも、郷土館は良かったです。
目の前に駐車場もあるので安心ですね。

じっくり時間をかけて見るのが良いと思います

信濃追分の博物館‼

Oiwake was a traffic junction, and during the Edo period it was the dividing road between Nakasendo and Hokkoku Kaido. It was also a post town for feudal lord processions, and was more developed than Karuizawa.

Went here a few weeks ago with my family. We heard a bunch of my great-great-grandfather's things were there. Sure enough, we saw the suit of armor that we have old pictures of, with my great-great-grandfather, Tsuchiya Ichizaemon, and his children. We also saw some other things that used to belong to the Tsuchiya clan. It was really neat seeing so much of my ancestral history there.

The people there were really, really nice. They were so interested in our story and asked a lot of questions and answered what they could of ours.

We've been looking into our family history and trying to find any remaining family members of our line. Unfortunately, it's been a bit unfruitful so far. If anyone sees this who is related to or knows anything about Tsuchiya Ichizaemon; his sons, Kennichi and Zennichi; or his daughters (we don't know their names), I'd really appreciate it if you reached out. Thank you!
