Former Ando Residence

4.0

"This farmer's residence built in 1709 is located about a 30-minute walk from the Furuichiba Bus Stop or the Ichigenjaya Bus Stop. The Ando family is an old family that served as the chiefs of Nishinago Village for generations. The home is an incredibly valuable building that offers insights into the life of wealthy farmers in the late Edo Period. The main building, which features a thatched Irimoya-style roof, has been preserved just as it was centuries ago. It as well as the front gate, earthen storehouse, tearoom, central gate, and wooden fence have all been designated as national Important Cultural Properties. Yokosawa-bina, a style of hina doll unique to Yamanashi, are displayed with other hina doll collection at the residence during the ""Ando-ke Jutaku Hinamatsuri (Doll Festival)"" held there each spring."

寒風すさむ中、かやぶき屋根の安藤家住宅を見学

国道５２号線沿いで、案内板があり、ずっと気になっていたが、入場料金３００円を払い見学する。平屋の昔の民家、大黒柱はなく、太い柱と１尺の梁で建てられており立派です。我が家でも、昭和３０年代まで、蚕をやって、囲炉裏があり、柱や梁は、黒光りでで、当該住宅と同じです。畳の部屋に上がり、昔の？ひな人形が飾られておりいい感じです。家の周りの池や大木があり、住宅とともに、懐かしさを感じました。
一見の価値あり

築309年（2017年時点）という木造家屋が焼失や倒壊を免れて現存している、というだけでも素晴らしい。内部もかなりしっかりした、凝った造りで関心させられた。説明の方の解説もよかった。
