Former Tamura Residence
The site of the residence of the Tamura Matazaemon family, who served as senior retainers of the Ono Domain (designated as a municipal cultural property). A beautifully crafted windmill shed is installed for a limited time, attracting many visitors.
The former Tamura residence is the site of the mansion of the Tamura Matazaemon family, who served as senior retainers of the Ono Domain (designated as a municipal cultural property). The main house, built in 1827, is one of the few remaining samurai residences in the prefecture. The artificial hill on the east side of the garden is said to be part of an earthen rampart constructed by Kanamori Nagachika, who built Echizen Ono Castle, along the outer moat to prevent enemy invasion. Only this section remains.
Furthermore, colorful windmills are installed for a limited time. This makes it a popular spot for photography.
