Iwahashi Residence

From Jcastle.info

It's not known exactly when the house was built but it was renovated towards the end of the Edo Period. The most significant change was replacing the thatch roof with wooden tiles. This residence is well known for an oak tree that is over 300 years and beautiful sweeping sakura (cherry blossoms).
