This inn represents Okabe-shuku and is registered as a national tangible cultural property. The main building was rebuilt in 1836 after being burned down twice, and it is now a valuable history museum where you can see the inn as it was in the past. On the first floor, the characters Yaji and Kita from "Tokaidochu Hizakurige "(Going Tokaido Shank'ｓ Mare) are recreated in a pose being welcomed by the inn hostess.
Adjacent to the museum is a warehouse renovated into a cafe, as well as Bussankan Kashibaya, a gift shop where you can buy local specialties and craft products, and enjoy amazake (a sweet drink made from fermented rice) or a snack of kashiwa mochi (rice cake wrapped in oak leaf). It is one of the constituent cultural properties of Japan Heritage.
