 明治20(1887)年、名門商家であった平林家により建てられた古民家。屋号の「光屋(ひかるや)」は、当主が現在の安曇野市光地区出身だったことにちなむという。一時は取り壊しが検討されていたが「人が集う場所として建物を生き返らせたい」と、現オーナーが建物を受け継ぐ。世界的に名高い空間設計家の高取邦和氏の指揮で、平成19(2007)年飲食店として再生。母屋をそのまま生かした日本料理の『ヒガシ』、漆喰の蔵をリノベーションしたフレンチの『ニシ』が、中庭を中心に別棟の蔵屋敷で営業する。

 旧善光寺街道に面する間口15mに及ぶ蔵屋敷は、切妻造(きりづまづくり)桟瓦葺(さんかわらぶき)。外壁の腰部はなまこ壁、上部は漆喰塗で、道路に面した東側は黒漆喰、他は白漆喰となっている。通りに面した2階には観音扉付きの窓が6か所設けられている。檜材を主とした檜普請(ひのきぶしん)で、江戸時代の高度な木造建築の技術が生かされている。土間の玄関と店舗部分には上質の欅を豊富に使い、奥座敷には柱や造作の檜に加え、床の間に紫檀・黒檀、床脇に欅、長押に鉄刀木と高級材が適切にバランスよく用いられている。

 平成22(2010)年、店舗兼主屋と文庫蔵が国の登録有形文化財に指定。平成28(2016)年には、ヒカリヤのニシ、ヒガシともに松本市近代遺産に登録された。

 An old private house built in 1887 by the Hirabayashi family, a prominent merchant family. The house name “Hikaruya” is said to be a reference to the fact that the head of the family was from the Hikari district of present-day Azumino City. At one point, it was being considered for demolition, but the current owner has taken over the building, saying, “I want to bring it back to life as a place where people can gather. Under the direction of Kunikazu Takatori, a world-renowned space designer, the building was reborn as a restaurant in 2007. The Japanese restaurant “Higashi”, which makes use of the main building as it is, and the French restaurant “Nishi”, which renovated a stucco warehouse, operate in a separate building in a warehouse house with a central courtyard.

Facing the old Zenkoji Road, the 15-meter-long warehouse house is built with gabled roofs (Kirizumazukuri) and pier tiles (sankawarabuki). The exterior walls are lined with namako walls and plastered on the top, with black plaster on the east side facing the street and white plaster on the other sides. On the second floor facing the street, there are six windows with Kannon doors. The building is constructed mainly of hinoki cypress and utilizes the advanced wooden construction techniques of the Edo period. In the back room, in addition to the cypress used for the pillars and workmanship, the tokonoma (alcove) is made of purple ebony and black ebony, the sides of the floor are made of zelkova, and the long wooden screens are made of tetsunoki.

In 2010, the store, main building, and storehouse were designated as Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan. In 2016, Hikariya’s Nishi and Higashi were registered as part of Matsumoto City’s Modern Heritage.
