Historic Residence of the Ogino Family
Scenic and Historic Locations
The Ogino family operated a business called Kuramiya at this location for generations. The main house is the oldest remaining traditional machiya townhouse in Kumagawa-juku. The property includes the main building that was used both as a residence and for commercial purposes, an adjacent baggage storehouse, and other structures. Architectural features such as the short wing walls under the eaves and the white plaster reflect the prosperity of the family’s business. The two koma-tsunagi metal rings attached to the front of the house were used to tie horses. The residence was nationally designated an Important Cultural Property in 2014. Please note that the interior is not open to the public.
