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

The Former Residence of the Toshima Family is a two-storey samurai house with reed-thatched roofs and a sukiya-style upper floor, built in 1828 in Yanagawa. Its garden draws water from the surrounding moat canals, and the main house and garden together form a designated Place of Scenic Beauty.

The residence was constructed in 1828 as a retreat for clansman Kanetomo Yoshida. Multiple ownership changes occurred over the following decades until the city of Yanagawa received it as a donation in 2001.

The residence was later presented to the Tachibana family, the lords of Yanagawa, and is said to have served as the domain's tea house. The two-storey reed-thatched main building in sukiya style reflects the literary tastes of the samurai who built it, and the garden draws on the water of the surrounding moats.

The house stands at 49-3 Kido-machi in Yanagawa, a short walk from the Suitengu-iriguchi bus stop. It is closed on Tuesdays, or the following day when Tuesday is a holiday, and from 29 December to 3 January. Last entry is at 16:30.

The Zashiki guest room features a dedicated moon-viewing area with layered roofs constructed from reeds, wooden batten plates, and cryptomeria bark. This room reveals how samurai families designed specific spaces within their homes for seasonal aesthetic experiences.
