Background

This bukeyashiki (samurai house) once belonged to the Akai family who served Iga Domain; it is part of the castle town of Iga-Uenojō. Unlike the Irimajiri-bukeyashiki, the other bukeyashiki still extant in Iga-Ueno, the Akai-bukeyashiki has a roof of ceramic tiles; parts of it are painted red, true to the name perhaps? Features include the Omoya (main building), kura (storehouses), garden, tea room, dobei (earthen walls) and nagayamon (rowhouse-gate / row-gatehouse). Parts of the house have been modified for modern living.
