Kyu Shioyademise

Other Historic Site/Building
A historic structure about a 10-minute walk from Chizu Station. It was built during the Meiji and Showa periods as a residence of the Ishitani branch family, which played a major role helping advance the local community through modern times. Originally a traditional merchant-style machiya structure, it was destroyed by fire in 1889 and later rebuilt around 1897. With a large alcove and long veranda facing the garden, its frontage is more extensive than other local merchant houses, telling of the family's former prosperity. It has been designated a National Tangible Cultural Property because, along with the attached Western-style house, it typifies the architectural processes of such residential structures.

    石谷家の大豪邸と街道を挟んで斜め向かいにある商家風町屋の伝統的建造物です。明治期に建てられたレトロな町家と見事な日本庭園を無料で見学できます。敷地内の洋館は西河克己映画記念館として公開されています。
  • 「智頭宿 塩屋出店」と看板

    石谷家の分家に当たるそうで、重要文化財「石谷家住宅」に程近い場所に立っていました。正面上には「智頭宿 塩屋出店」と看板が掲げられ、又、戸口横には登録有形文化財のパネルがはめられていました。猶、正面扉は閉じられたままとなっていましたが横の通用口は解放されており、内部の建物の状況をうかがう事が出来ました。

    智頭宿の智頭往来から少し入ったところにある商家。間口の広い商家です。説明板によれば塩屋本家の次男の方が店をおこし、その後雑貨商などを営んでおられたとのこと。広い庭があり、庭の中に、西河克己映画記念館があります。この洋館風の建物は、もとは療養所で、教会にも使われたとのこと。国の登録有形文化財にも指定されています。
