The residence of the Ota family & remains of Tomo Shichikyo-ochi (the exile of the Seven nobles from Kyoto to Tomo)

This was the “Nakamura family” residence who served as Homei-shu (medicated liquor) sake brewers regulated by the Fukuyama Domain, ownership shifted to the Ota family in the Meiji period. The main shop and the medicated liquor cellar are well preserved and they impart the appearance of a brewery to the present day. In 1991, it was designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan due to its being highly merited as a cultural asset. Also due to the coup at the end of the Edo period, Sanjo Sanetomi and seven other Kuge (high court nobles) stayed at the residence of the Ota family while fleeing the capital.
