木戸五郎兵衛村は、雄物川地域の古い茅葺き民家を集めて伝える野外の民家苑です。昔の住まいを季節の景色とともに歩き、町の資料館とは異なる実物の建物の大きさや空間を感じられます。夜までの開村時間と、日中だけの民家内部公開を分けて訪問を計画できます。

江戸から大正の茅葺き民家を歩く
苑内には江戸～大正時代の茅葺き民家が移築・復元され、市指定有形文化財として地域の暮らしを伝えています。旧寺田家、旧佐藤家、旧黒石家、旧近野家があり、屋根や建物の姿を外から眺める散策と、室内へ入る見学を組み合わせられます。建物の間には広場があり、四季の自然を背景に民家ごとの違いを見比べて歩ける場所です。
二つの公開時間を使い分ける
開村時間は9～21時ですが、民家の内部公開は9～16時30分です。古い住まいの中まで見たい場合は午後遅くなる前に訪ね、夕方以降は敷地の散策を中心にできます。開村時間外も敷地内の散策は可能です。入村は無料で、12月29日～1月3日は休村。日中の見学と、民家を会合などで借りる利用は別の仕組みです。
民家を借りるときの料金と申請
民家や広場は行事、会議、学習活動などにも利用できます。営利目的でない通常の使用料は一時間500円ですが、市外に住所を持つ利用者は二倍の1,000円、営利目的は一時間1,500円です。対象は旧寺田家・旧佐藤家・旧黒石家・旧近野家と広場。多人数の利用には旧佐藤家や旧黒石家が案内され、使用許可申請を行う仕組みです。
雄物川の散策日へ組み込む
所在地は雄物川町沼館高畑336で、駐車場があります。雄物川郷土資料館と周辺の公園もある地域なので、屋内の歴史展示と実際の民家を組み合わせる行程にできます。管理はリバーサイドヒルが担当しています。内部公開終了の16時30分を基準に、食事や川沿いの散策、地域の宿泊施設へ続く順序を選べます。無料見学でも、貸切行事で使う範囲とは分けて楽しめます。
横手市内で組み合わせる訪問先
駅周辺、増田・十文字、平鹿、雄物川、大森、大雄、山内は移動する方面が異なります。見学や食事の締切と、宿へ到着する時刻を合わせて行程を組めます。関連する駐車場はそれぞれの施設・地域の利用拠点です。
Kido Gorobei Village brings old thatched houses from the Omonogawa area together in an outdoor setting. Walk between full-sized historic dwellings and seasonal greenery, experiencing a scale different from object displays in a museum. Planning depends on whether the aim is a grounds walk or entering the houses, whose interior visiting hours finish earlier.

Walk among Edo-to-Taisho thatched homes
Relocated and restored homes from the Edo through Taisho periods preserve local domestic architecture as city-designated cultural properties. The former Terada, Sato, Kuroishi and Konno houses can be viewed externally and, during interior opening hours, from within. Open space between them gives room to compare buildings against seasonal surroundings, moving between the outdoor village setting and the individual homes.
Distinguish grounds and interior visiting hours
The village opens 09:00–21:00, while house interiors are available only 09:00–16:30. Arrive before late afternoon to see the rooms, reserving later time for the grounds. Walking within the site is also possible outside village hours. Entry is free, with December 29–January 3 closure. Ordinary daytime visits and hiring a house for a meeting are different forms of use with different arrangements.
Apply separately to hire a house or square
Houses and the square can be hired for activities such as meetings, events or learning sessions. Ordinary noncommercial use costs ¥500 per hour, doubled to ¥1,000 for users resident outside Yokote; commercial use is ¥1,500 per hour. The four named houses and square are covered. The Sato and Kuroishi houses are suggested for larger gatherings, and a use-permission application is required.
Include the village in an Omonogawa day
The village is at 336 Takabatake, Numadate, with parking available. The Omonogawa local-history museum and parks provide other nearby stops, allowing indoor interpretation to complement the actual houses. Riverside Hill manages the site. Use the 16:30 interior closing time to arrange meals, riverside walks and accommodation, while distinguishing ordinary free visits from areas hired for organised activities.
Other stops to combine within Yokote
The station area, Masuda/Jumonji, Hiraka, Omonogawa, Omori, Taiyu and Sannai involve different directions of travel. Combine sightseeing and meal deadlines with the intended accommodation arrival time. Related parking serves its own facility or area as a stopping point.
