HistoryHayashida Dai-shoya (village headman) former Miki family residence
The Former Residence of the Miki Family is estimated to have been built in the early Edo period (1603-1868), making it one of the oldest remaining dated private homes in Hyogo Prefecture belonging to a village headman.
It is also extremely rare for a house of this period to have survived, making it an important structure in the history of private homes in Japan.
The home is surrounded by earthen walls and a garden pond to the southwest.
The site contains six buildings: the main house, a row house gate, a row house at the edge of the wall, and storehouses (a rice storehouse, internal storehouse, and a new storehouse), as well as a Shinto shrine, and a back gate.
There is also a grand gate built to allow feudal lords to enter at the west end of the row house.
The main building and six other buildings were designated as Important Tangible Cultural Properties by Hyogo Prefecture in 1990.
