You can visit the Ancient House for free, although you can donate money to help with maintenance. It's a lovely old dwelling with beautiful woodwork and lanterns. It's been inhabited by the same family for 8 generations. They have a lovely gift shop too with lanterns and textiles.

250 year old house. First in hoian. Free entry, and the guide was great. Girls bought some silver bracelets, so ending costing us a 100aud

200 year old house that is still lived on. It is so beautiful and free to visit. The family are silversmiths and have a huge array of jewellery.
**★★★★☆ John Winter — 8 months ago
A beautifully preserved traditional house that offers a peaceful glimpse into the past. Entry is free, and the space is decorated with vibrant lanterns, flowering plants, and ornate wooden furniture. Some original tools and antiques are still on display, giving insight into daily life in earlier times.
Part of the house is still occupied by the family, and while they do give a bit of a sales pitch at the end for their souvenirs, it doesn’t detract too much from the experience. It’s well-maintai

I was appalled by the level of rudeness my guest experienced visiting this establishment.
I visited the ancient house first, March 2017, and another a few years later. As a creative, I am interested in it's the rich architecture and craftsmanship. There are some fascinating construction techniques along with artistic mastery. It's always a delight to share with guests this 250 year wonder.
Unfortunately, my recent visit 14/11/2025 was shockingly disappointing. We were rushed around on what see
