Former Residence of the Bito family

4.5

This manor house was built in 1863 by a raw-silk crepe merchant. The original Japanese-style structure was expanded with a western-style house in the Showa period, and now this is a Kyoto prefectural Registered Tangible Cultural Property. They offer exhibits to match the seasons or local festivals, so there's always something to see.

ちりめん街道唯一の公開住宅。加悦の繁栄を知らしめる、素晴らしい。

ちりめん街道に残る、生糸ちりめん商家。ちりめん街道で唯一内部見学ができます。和館や内蔵が並ぶ中、昭和3年建築の洋館が見所です。また、洋館1階の新座敷、梅松竹の床柱、自然竹の欄間も素晴らしい。加悦の繁栄ぶりが伺える素晴らしい住宅です。
素晴らしい

２月４日、午後、入口の左側で女性二人が手作業。「見せていただいてもいいですか」２人で４００円を払い、この地域最大の豪商の屋敷へ。和洋折衷。幕末に建てられたという屋敷。女性の説明がいい。たたずまいのいい。必見です。

旧尾藤家は北前船の交易で儲け、金融業へ転換したこの地の町長のご自宅です。贅の限りを尽くし、屋久杉の天井やら、お宝満載です。
