This house belonged to Mikami – a prominent Edo merchant in the town surrounding Miyazu Castle. He prospered in sake making, shipping and as a thread wholesaler. The house is comprised of six buildings: the main house, the sake store, the sake rice boiling house, the appliance store, the tool room, and front gate. Following a fire in 1783 the wooden pillars that cover the building exterior were coated to prevent fire, and a earthen door installed. In 2003 this villa was designated an important national cultural asset. The house’s tatami and tea rooms are available for public use. (Fee Necessary)
