Former Sugiyama House, Historical residence in Jinaimachi, Japan

The Former Sugiyama House features traditional wooden architecture with tatami mats, sliding doors, and a distinctive four-layer roof structure throughout its multiple buildings.

Built in 1650, this property served as residence for the Sugiyama family, who held positions as town administrators and obtained a brewery license in 1685.

The residence gained recognition as the birthplace of Isonokami Tsuyuko, a modern tanka poet from the Meiji era who contributed to Japanese literature.

Visitors can explore the entire property, which includes an earth-floored room, reception areas with Osaka-style walls, and painted fusuma screens.

The brewery operations at Former Sugiyama House expanded from producing 30 koku to 1,103 koku, requiring a workforce of 70 people during peak production.
