Masayuki Dye Shop

This dye shop has been in operation for four hundred years, dating back to the early Edo period, and is said to be the birthplace of Yui Masayuki (1605–1651). The workshop and its tools—including indigo vats, a household shrine, dyeing equipment, and a portable storage chest—remain preserved just as they were in the past, offering a glimpse into the history of that era.Additionally, in the shrine in the backyard, there is a five-story pagoda said to enshrine Masayuki.
