Former Main Residence of Homma Family and Villa “O-tana”

4.0

This samurai-style villa built in 1768 by Mitsuoka Homma—the third landlord of Homma Family, wealthy merchant family of Dewa—served as lodgings for the Shogun’s inspection envoys. Featuring a combination of samurai-style and merchant-style construction, this building would be unusual anywhere in the country. The red pines are also wonderful, and are said to live over 400 years.

豪商本間家の建物です

もともとは本間家が庄内藩に献上した日本家屋、後に拝領し本邸として使われました。ぐるっと外を回ってみましたが、やはり大きいですね。さすが本間家の建物です。

町中にあり、訪問がしやすいです。本間美術館との共通券を買えば、２００円安く見学が出来ます。広々としており、ゆっくり見学できます。
