When traveling in Tottori, I went to many nostalgic and retro Japanese streets, and the Shigu family residence in Tottori Nandong Zhitouyu, Nandong Zhitouyu, is also a recommended cultural relics building. Nearby are the small towns of the former Sukiyoshi Station, not only to enjoy the natural scenery of the countryside, but also to feel the scenes of life in Japan before..

If you want to feel the prosperity of the Edo period and see the big families in the Tottori area, then Shigu Home House is not to be missed. Shigu Home House is located in Zhitouyu, Batou County, Tottori Prefecture, and is one of the largest buildings in Tottori Prefecture in the Edo era. The owner of the house, mainly in the timber business, is the famous timber merchant in the country, and the home is naturally also used for its own use, using a large number of precious luxury wood, and the roof beams and pillars of the hall are extremely rare. Also because of the use of a large number of wood, with Japanese gardens, more elegant and quiet. The residential area is about 10,000 square meters, with the vast pool spring return Japanese garden as the center, equipped with 40 rooms and 7 warehouses. After the transformation of the Meiji and Dazheng period, the main family of Shigu Chuanshiro, it became a masterpiece of modern Japanese architecture. Today, a small part of the Shigu family residence is occupied by their descendants, and most of them have been managed as museum-style supply for the state.
