Hikobe Family Manor, Samurai residence in Hirosawa-chō, Japan
The manor features multiple structures, including a main residence, gatehouse, retirement quarters, archival storehouse, and granary across 20,000 square meters of land.
The Hikobe Family Manor, constructed in 1561, belonged to Hikobe Nobukatsu, a chief vassal of the Ashikaga shogunate and descendant of Prince Takechi.
The property incorporates traditional Japanese architectural elements, with a hip-and-gable thatched roof and Muromachi-style garden containing ponds and stone bridges.
The manor opens on weekends and public holidays from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, requiring reservations for weekday visits, with entry fees of 500 yen.
In 1820, Hikobe Gohei invented black satin at this location, establishing a foundation for textile production in the Kiryu region.
