Former Okada Residence, Traditional machiya and sake brewery in Miyanomae, Japan

The Former Okada Residence contains both a shop area and a sake brewery, featuring traditional Japanese architectural elements from the 17th century.

The residence, built in 1674 by sake brewer Yohe Matsuya, passed to the Okada family in 1900 and received Important Cultural Property status in 1992.

The shop section represents the oldest existing machiya in Hyogo Prefecture, while the brewery section stands as the oldest sake brewery in Japan.

Located at 2-5-20 Miyanomae, the residence operates from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and visitors can access it within 6 minutes by foot from JR Itami Station.

The facility displays original sake brewing tools, including traditional barrels, kilns, and a cleansing area with a well from the Edo period.
