Nishie Residence

The Nishie Residence features traditional Japanese architectural elements with tatami floors, sliding doors, and intricate wooden beams across 41 rooms and 161 tatami mats.

Built between 1704 and 1715, this residence belonged to the Nishie family who served as local administrators during the Edo period for the Tokugawa government.

The residence demonstrates the social status of wealthy farmers through its impressive entrance gate, which required special permission during the Edo period.

Tours of the residence operate from 10:00 to 16:00, requiring advance reservations two days prior, with entrance fees of approximately 1,650 yen per person.

The building incorporates premium materials like cherry, zelkova, pine, cypress, persimmon, and maple woods, finished with the traditional bengala red oxide coating.
