Former Residence of the Toshima Family, Samurai residence in Yanagawa, Japan.

The Former Residence of the Toshima Family features traditional Japanese architecture with reed thatched roofs and water channels flowing through its gardens.

Built in 1828 as a retreat for clansman Kanetomo Yoshida, the residence later changed ownership multiple times before being donated to Yanagawa City in 2001.

The tea ceremony room contains bamboo elements, including pillars and a crescent-shaped window, reflecting the influence of the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.

Located at 49-3 Ondo-machi, the residence opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM except Tuesdays, with an admission fee of 100 yen for adults.

The Zashiki guest room offers a designated moon-viewing area with tiered roofs made of reed, batten plates, and cryptomeria bark materials.
