Kunin Yashiki (Former Okamoto Residence)

"A two-minute walk from Sakamoto-hieizanguchi Station on the Keihan Electric Railway, and 10 minutes from JR Hieizan-Sakamoto Station. This historic site can be reached by walking a short distance east on Prefectural Route 316 from the Otsu City Sakamoto Tourist Information Center. A ""kunin"" was a monk in the Edo period who was permitted to have a surname and wife and bear a sword. This estate is an example of the type such kunin lived in and is extremely rare in that it is largely unchanged from the time it was first built, even the interior. The estate's main building, rice granary, stable, and other structures have been designated Cultural Properties by the city."
