Former Sakoshiura Meeting Hall

4.0

This historic site is located about a 15-minute drive east from the Ako Interchange on the Sanyo Expressway. The residence, which once served as a meeting place, sits at the bottom of the central avenue connecting Sakoshi Port and Chikusa River. Kankaian, the small lounge on the second floor, was for the exclusive use of the lord of the Ako Domain. The beautiful Sakoshi Port can be seen through the window of the room, which is slightly lower than the rest of the second floor. The building was constructed in 1831-1832 to serve as a place to meet to discuss governance, commerce, and other administrative affairs. The building, which also served a teahouse for the Ako Domain until the dawn of the Meiji Period, was designated as a Tangible Cultural Property of Ako City in 1992.

坂越の人々が集まって、ここで取り決めをしたそうです(復元した建物ですが)。今は目の前は公園になっていますが、当時は目の前が海だったそうです。現在は無料休息所です。

坂越浦の美しいシンボルです。街並み保存地区のような雰囲気で、かつての雰囲気を忍ぶことができます。いとをかし。
けっこうでございます

一見、普通の建物なんですが、赤穂藩主の茶屋でもあったという由緒ある施設。しかし、やっぱり、開放的で洒脱な雰囲気に、さりげないところに細やかな意匠が配されて、これはすごい。殿さまが昼寝をしたという小さな日本間も屋根裏のような場所でけっこうでございます。
