Traditional home on steroids

This is amazing - not just the scale but natural beauty of buildings / gardens. The owner had a vision and created an ancestral home- Downton Abbey Japan - style; even can see how the servants worked...
驚きがあるお屋敷でした

岡山や倉敷の都会から離れた場所にこのような立派な建物があることに驚いた。襖で仕切られた４２ｍもある多くの部屋のつながりは、合わせ鏡の空間にいるような不思議な感覚を覚えた。館内は台所を中心に昔の生活が偲ばれる品々が置かれている他、製塩に関する展示があり興味をそそられた。駐車場の看板が縦長の大きなものだったので、かえって気が付かずうろうろしてしまった。
色々見られてかなり良かった

倉敷市のジーンズストリートにある、昔の塩田王の家です。ここは、塩で大成功た野﨑武左衛門の住宅で、国指定重要文化財です。大人500 円、小中学生300円で、土日は子供無料です。ここの屋敷は凄く広く、屋敷や庭も見ていても楽しいですが、昔の生活用品や、蔵やトイレ、防空壕などもあり、思っていたよりもはるかに良かったです。蔵を利用した展示館もあり、正直、ジーンズストリートよりも遥かに良かったです。
