Old Yukawa Family Manor

This old samurai residence is found upstream along the Aiba Waterway (Aibagawa). The main hall, found across the bridge, stands out particular for the design around its tearoom. The house uses water diverted from the river which, after passing through the water garden with a pond in the center, is drawn into the kitchen for domestic use, after which it is drained back into the river, in a construction system known as hatoba. An old map from the Edo period records this as Toiban (flood gate keeper), so historians believe this residence was home to the water manager for the Aiba Waterway.
