Toukeien

A residence built by a branch family of the Watanabe family in the Meiji period

Original Text

A mansion built in the Meiji era by a branch of the Watanabe family, a wealthy merchant and landlord in Sekigawa Village. It looks a little smaller than the Watanabe residence of the adjacent head family, but it is still a magnificent mansion. It seems that Sekigawa Village is currently managed and the garden is in good condition. There is a cafe inside where you can enjoy light meals such as soba while enjoying the garden.

It is the site of the mansion of the branch house of Watanabe's residence, an important cultural property in front of the Sekigawa Village Office. It is a facility just a short walk from Watanabe's residence, and you can enter it with a common admission ticket, so you can visit it with Watanabe's residence.

It is the new house of the Watanabe family branch. It takes about ３ from Watanabe's residence. When I asked why it was "Tokeien", it was decided to recruit nicknames in Sekigawa Village. The highlight here is that the landlord liked Go and searched for Go until he went to bed and polished the ceiling with a grid pattern. And the red of the autumn leaves in the garden was burning red. When I asked, it was said that it was a Kyoto maple that I brought from Kyoto.

It is said that the branch family of the Watanabe family Yatsushiro was built in 1883. It is managed by Sekigawa Village, and on the day I visited, I had a "tea party" in the village. I couldn't take a leisurely tour, but the maple in the garden was colored and the view from the window on the 2nd floor was wonderful. It is not far from the size of the neighboring Watanabe family, but the admission fee is 100 yen, so please visit it.

I like it more than Watanabe's residence.

２０ I went for the first time in a year. It seems to be the house of a branch family of Watanabe's residence. Sekigawa Village is managing it. The well-ventilated and exotic making was wonderful. １００ It is an admission fee for yen, so please stop by.
