    Okayama Kurashiki-shi Tamashima 3-8-25
    A 15-minute drive from the Tamashima Interchange on the Sanyo Expressway. This is the former residence of the Yunoki family who served the lord of the Bicchu-Matsuyama Domain. The house is registered as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. It was built during the mid-Edo period and was sometimes used to house the lord of the domain. Including a Yakui-mon gate (Onari-mon gate, for guests of importance), a traditional step-up entrance way, and a drawing room reminiscent of a tea-ceremony arbor, the house is a perfect historical specimen of the architecture of a mid-Edo period village headman's domicile. It is also the house where clan leader Kumata Ataka took full responsibility for his domain's betrayal during the end of the Edo period and commit suicide. The former main section of the house has been restored and is now used as a learning establishment.

    とても静かで落ち着いた場所です。 釘隠しが、兎の形をしていて岐阜の高山陣屋のものととてもにていました。備中松山藩主の小堀遠州になにかゆかりがあるのでしょうか。

Overshadowed by Hiroshima to the west and the Kansai region to the east, Okayama is an easy spot to miss but a nature-rich gem where the Seto Inland Sea laps at its toes and peach and grape farms complete its interior. One of Japan’s Three Great Gardens, Koraku-en in Okayama city is well worth a visit before progressing to Kurashiki, where preserved wooden Edo buildings line the picturesque canal.
