Sugano Family Manor

Historical Monument

4.0

This merchant's house was designated an Important Cultural Asset in 1994 as the best of Takaoka's earthen-walled townhouses in terms of scale, quality, and level of preservation. The walls are finished with black plaster, and the second floor has a set of double doors. The roof has a boxed ridge, as well, and all of these are hallmarks of Takaoka earthen-walled town house construction. The Sugano family built a vast family fortune from the beginning of the Meiji period when the fifth generation head, Denemon, began trading on routes to Hokkaido.

山町筋で一番カッコいい建物と思いました。部分的に煉瓦を使ったり、土塀に細かい開口部があったりとみていて飽きませんでした。
