Takara Residence

4.0

A historic building in Geruma, Zamami Village, Shimajiri County. It was the home of a clan who served as captains of the government boats in the Ryukyu Islands. The house was built in the latter half of the 19th century, and the former thatched roof was replaced by a red tile roof during the Taisho Period (1912-1926). It is the oldest of the traditional-style houses still standing on the smaller islands in the Ryukyu chain, and it has been designated a National Important Cultural Property.

Beautiful old house with tatami mats and sliding silk screen doors in a little hamlet of utter quietness.

ツアーで前を通りました。赤瓦の屋根と立派なサンゴの石垣。旧家だったことが分かります。月曜だったので、定休日で、中には入れず、残念でした。

阿嘉島で船を降りたら、慶留間島の南端の集落に移動したら見つかりました。母屋だけでなく、便所と豚小屋、台所が残っていることに感動しました。
