Although the style of the building reminds us of old Northern European architectures, it is well adapted to the surrounding traditional buildings.<\/p>\n<p>The site is the birthplace of history and education in Kakunodate city. Originally, in the Edo period, this was the site of the house of the Satake-Kita family. Later, the public school \u201cKakunodate Junior High School\u201d was built here.<\/p>\n<p>Hirafuku Memorial Museum of Arts is named after the Hirafuku father and son.
