Takahashi Samurai Manor - Old Orii Home

This old samurai residence is about a 15-minute walk from JR Bitchu-Takahashi Station. It is located in Ishibiya-cho, amidst a number of other samurai residences, in the ruins of the outermost region of Bitchu Matsuyama Castle, and it is a designated Takahashi City Important Cultural Property. Built in the Tempo era, it is a beautiful stucco walled structure with a formal, architecturally traditional main house. The courtyard has a pond and garden stones that appear almost exactly like they did when the house was in use. The while stucco and heavy beams of the Nagayamon gate are particularly lovely. Inside you'll find displays of weapons and daily lifestyle items to offer a look at how life was lived long ago.
