Autumn trip along the Fruits Line, a visit to this historical building is a must! By train, one minute from the Enzan station. ¥310 p/p entrance fee. A small children’s library is also part of this well preserved landmark.
Large, beautiful old Edo Era house surrounded by other smaller old buildings conveniently located opposite Enzan JR Station. For a small fee you can enter the house and look around, including the loft upstairs which is full of fascinating old objects. If you visit around Hinamatsuri (March 3rd) there is a wonderful display of traditional dolls, and in autumn there are colorful strings of orange persimmons drying everywhere.
You can also hire bicycles here to explore the area more thoroughly.
I've visited here 3 times, and I love this place!
Very beautiful historical buildings. Part of building is public library. Respect locals and follow rules when you take a look and walk around. Parking is available. Some season, they have festivals, it's cool.
Usually museums are closed on Mondays in Japan, but this place is closed on Tuesdays. Needles to say, we made a trip for nothing.
This mansion is located in front of the station, and in the late Edo period, it seems that licorice, which has medicinal properties, was cultivated to supply the shogunate.
Parking is available.
Admission is paid at the entrance to the mansion. It was 310 yen per adult.
A volunteer gave us an explanation, which helped us understand the site better.
After climbing the steep staircase to the second floor, we found sericulture tools and tableware used during the Edo period.
Licorice is still planted in the garden, as well as fruits such as persimmons and quince.
We took our time looking around, so it took us an hour, but if you just take your time, it should take about 10 minutes.
