Hisano Residence

Background

This Bukeyashiki (samurai house) belonged to the Hisano family, who served as the retainers of the rulers of Akiźuki-han (domain). The house is larger than average for those in the domain, indicating that the Hisano were of a higher status. The two-storey residence is constructed of high quality sugi wood. The thatched roof part of the house is currently being replaced and so this area was off-limits during my visit, although one could see in. This part of the house has a well articulated layout with the guest hall being separated from living quarters by the entrance parlour. The two-storey northern wing was for the retired head of the family to dwell in. Strolling gardens wrap around the house in the north and in the west. Other structures include a kura (storehouse), now a museum, the Umaya (stables), the Chūgenbeya, now the ticket office, and an annex guest house. Parts of the house are off-limits to the public whilst renovations are ongoing.
