Background

The house was built in the mid to late Taisho Period (1912-1926) with a mixture of traditional architecture with western influences. The gate is original to the late Edo Period even though it doesn't reflect typical gate designs of the time. The Ohmatsuzawa were the ministers of forestry for the area making them one of the higher ranking samurai in Kanegasaki, where logging was an important source of revenue. The garden is also well known for collecting several different kinds of trees. The house is open to the public as a cafe.
