    Miyako-en has been selected as a designated cultural asset by the city of Koshu and offers visitors a chance to see a historic building.
    Visitors can also see the winemaking storehouse and tour the detached house, which is a rare opportunity to see the winemaking process in action.
    In the main building of the Miyakouen, visitors can watch a film showing the wine-making process in the old days.
    The main building of Miyako-en was moved from the second floor of a silkworm farmhouse in 1896, and was reconstructed in the Western style in 1928.
    This facility is recommended for wine lovers and those wishing to expand their knowledge of wine.
