Kamiyashiki of Matsudaira Tadamasa, Samurai residence in Ōtemachi, Japan
The Kamiyashiki extends across a large complex with high white walls, watch towers, multiple gates, and a small moat on three sides.
The residence belonged to Matsudaira Tadamasa, a daimyo of Fukui Domain and grandson of Tokugawa Ieyasu, until its destruction in the Great Fire of 1657.
The residence incorporated Momoyama architectural elements with two large cryptomeria wood roofs and followed the shoin design principles of traditional Japanese construction.
The Edo-Tokyo Museum displays a detailed 1/30 scale model of the residence, allowing visitors to examine the architectural features of this historical structure.
The mansion contained a special entrance gate adorned with golden phoenixes, reserved exclusively for visits from the shogun and other distinguished guests.
