There's no atmosphere of historic buildings.

About 5 minutes walk from Okegawa Station. It is located behind the Shimamura Building along the old Nakasendo (Prefectural Road 164). Built in 1836 and is tiled with wooden roofs. Nationally registered tangible cultural property. The Shimamura family was the head family of the grain wholesaler Kishimaya.

One of the oldest existing buildings in okegawa city

It is a rare three-story storehouse that is a national tangible cultural property, and the interior is open to the public once a month, but it was closed today. The Shimamura family seems to have built a wholesale shop that made a fortune with red flowers and grain of okegawa specialty, and when the famine of TENPO was famine, it was built to give work to the person who suffered from hunger 々.

the dozo in the Edo period is a sight to see.

There was a Shimamura family residence dozo on the right side, about 150m north of the old Nakasendo from Takemura Ryokan. It's a good structure. This is also a nationally registered tangible cultural property. The Shimamura family residence dozo is said to be a building around TENPO. It seems to be a museum, but it is open only on the afternoon of the first Saturday.
