吉村家住宅

The Yoshimura House features traditional Japanese architectural elements with steep thatched roofs and distinctive tile-covered sections at both gable ends.

After destruction during the 1615 Osaka Summer Campaign, this residence was rebuilt and served as home to the Yoshimura family, who administered 18 villages.

The property represents a prime example of early Edo period architecture, incorporating formal reception rooms and residential quarters in traditional Japanese style.

The house opens to visitors twice annually, during spring and autumn, with guided tours available for 500 yen at specific dates announced on their website.

This structure became the first private residence in Japan to receive Important Cultural Property designation in 1937, influencing modern architecture like Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building.
