Old Ashimori Domain Samurai Manor
This was the residence of the Sugihara family, chief retainer family of the Ashimori domain, and is highly valuable as it retains almost all of the original structure. Located facing Honmachi-dori Street, in the north section of the Ashimori City Scape Preservation District, it stands out for its white walls and Namako (white grid on black slate) earthen-walled nagayamon gate. The main hall has a beam line about 24.5 meters long and an inter-beam span of about 9 meters, and is a single-story building with a thatched hip roof. The small garden, centered around a spring-fed pond in the Enshu style, and tea house are reconstructions, but help to recreate the atmosphere of when the house was lived-in.
