Umoreginoya, Samurai residence in Hikone, Japan

Umoreginoya features a main gate with traditional ridge-end tiles, two diagonal corridors, and a garden filled with medical herbs.

Naosuke Ii, the 13th lord of Hikone domain and high official of Tokugawa Shogunate, spent his early years at this residence in 1759.

The residence includes a Zen meditation room with decorative nailhead covers and connects to Seiryooji temple at Sawayama mountain base.

The residence closes during summer months for preservation purposes and reopens to visitors in October each year.

The tearoom of this samurai residence differs from traditional design by not including a Nijiriguchi, the standard small entrance.
