The hotel where you can enjoy the story of the town.

This townhouse stands facing Taicho-ro and consists of two buildings on the left and right that were built in different years. The one on the right is a tall two-story building with a gabled roof and shallow tile roof. It is a relatively large townhouse with a width of nearly four ken. It is estimated to have been built between the Taisho period and the early Showa period. The passageway is narrow, only half a ken, and the rooms are arranged in two rows, which is rare in Tomo, indicating a later construction date. The left side is a two-story building with a gabled roof and real tile roof, and is built slightly offset from the right side. It shows a new style in which the front exterior walls of the first and second floors are aligned, and is estimated to have been built in the late Meiji period. The floor plan is irregular as the rear of the site is a cliff and the depth is short.

It is a large two-storey townhouse with a five-ken frontage on the street side. The building has a flat entrance when facing the street, but a small garden is set up on the left side as you face it from the street, where the entrance is built, resulting in a gabled entrance. As the front has a small garden, the front is gabled and the rear is gabled. The side facing the street is roofed with real tiles, but the garden side is simplified and roofed with shingles. It is thought that the house on the north side (rear side) extended to this location in the past, but the southern half of the house was demolished during the Taisho period, and the building was renovated in that place. This building was newly constructed around that time, and the northern half of the house (which still exists) was connected to it as a sitting room. Later, the house and owner became separate, and a temporary wall was again built between the two to separate them. The floor plan is completely different from the typical townhouses of Tomo, with no dirt floor passage and three rows of tatami-floored rooms. Although there are some irregularities, the first and second floors are roughly the same size, and the second floor is relatively low. Both the first and second floors are made of unfinished plaster walls, and the external wooden parts are lacquered with red lacquer. There have been few later alterations, and the original form is well preserved.

Currently, it is a one-story townhouse facing the street, with a gabled roof, a flat entrance, and a shingled roof at the front, but it is thought that originally there was a building to the left, where the main house was located. This main house was demolished in the Taisho period, and the current home was newly built. The current building is thought to be what remains of the former parlor building. The partitions have been significantly altered, but when restored, it was found to have had a main parlor of 10 tatami mats with a toko and shelves on the right edge, a large room of at least 15 tatami mats to the left of that, and a veranda at the rear of the building. It is estimated to have been built in the late 18th century. There are still boat-shaped elbow beams remaining under the eaves, and as it had a parlor with a toko and shelves from the Edo period, it is thought to have been the residence of a shrine priest or similar, rather than an ordinary townhouse.
