Old Inukai Family Residence

4.0

This private home building is a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, and is found along the Sanyo Shinkansen tracks about two kilometers north of JR Niwase Station. This was the birthplace of Tsuyoshi Inukai (also known as Bokudo , his pseudonym), a politician active from the Meiji into the early Showa period. The building is believed to date from the mid-Edo period, and is particularly valuable as a well-preserved village-headman's manor. Inside, it holds displays of items, pictures, letters and more related to Inukai. The joists lain across the ceiling in the earthen floor area, and the appearance of the main house still radiate the stately dignity of an official's home. The Inukai Bokudo Memorial Museum is next door, offering even more education about this man once called God of the Constitution.

これだけすごいのに無料

「話せばわかる」の犬養毅の生家です。歴史を感じさせる建物に多数の書物が展示されています。岡山駅、庭瀬駅からも近いのに、入場無料は驚き。読み物が多いので、たっぷりと時間のある時に行くべき施設だと思います。
和式の立派なお屋敷とその奥に別館があります。

入場無料なのが嬉しい。新幹線の高架下の道から少し奥まった所にあります。細い道を通っていると犬養毅だけでなく犬養家の墓所があります。数台程度停車できる駐車場があります。

岡山駅から岡山西署を越え、新幹線側道を西に進むと着きます。こじんまりとした博物館で凶弾に倒れた元首相の犬養毅の遺品や歴史などを展示しています。達筆で知られた犬養の直筆の書など、貴重な品も豊富。犬養の生涯も詳細に至るまで展示してあり、岡山が産んだ偉人の歴史をたどることができます。
