The residence spans 220 square meters and contains separate areas for public functions and private living, featuring traditional architectural elements and construction materials.
Built in 1733 following a great fire, this middle-ranking samurai residence stands along the northern moat of Matsue Castle in the Shiomi Nawate district.
