Yoshōkan, Historic samurai residence in Obi, Japan

The Yoshokan stands as a traditional Japanese manor constructed from local Obi cedar wood, featuring multiple rooms that overlook meticulously maintained gardens.

Built in 1868 following the departure from Obi Castle, this residence served as the primary dwelling for the Ito clan during the transition to the Meiji period.

The interior arrangement of Yoshokan demonstrates the social hierarchy and architectural principles of samurai residences through its room layouts and garden positioning.

Located on Ote-mon Street, the residence opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM with an entrance fee of 200 yen for adults and 100 yen for children.

The residence incorporates specialized carpentry techniques using Obi cedar, known for its structural properties that allowed the building to maintain its form for over 150 years.
