Built in 1896 (Meiji 29th) as a warehouse for storing cocoons and raw silks as a collateral, this facility adopted the architectural styles including symmetrically placed windows, the open 2nd floor and a king-post style suspended ceiling, preserving historical sceneries of then Honjo-jo, a town of silk cultivation. The brick warehouse of former Honjo Commercial Bank is registered as a national tangible cultural heritage.
