The former Tamura residence is the site of the former home of the Tamura Matazaemon family, who served as senior retainers of the Ono Domain (designated as a municipal cultural property).The main residence, built in 1827 (Bunsei 10), is one of the few remaining samurai residences in the prefecture. Additionally, the artificial hill on the east side of the garden is said to be a remnant of the earthen rampart that Kanamori Nagachika—who built Echizen-Ono Castle—had constructed along the outer moat to prevent enemy invasion; this is the only surviving section. Furthermore, colorful pinwheel-shaped canopies are installed for a limited time, making it a popular photo spot.
