The house
One tree, one beam.
About 260 m² (80 tsubo), all on one floor. The main beams are each cut from a single tree — a length that is hard to obtain today. You can still see the marks of the hand adze.
According to the landowner's family, the house is said to be 200 to 300 years old. It has stood here for at least 200 years.
