Former Residence of Henmi Kanbei
Scenic and Historic Locations
This property once belonged to Henmi Kanbei (1842–1909), the first mayor of Kumagawa. In addition to the main house, originally built in 1858, it contained a sake brewery, a garden, and a storehouse in the rear. The residence was designated a Tangible Cultural Property by Wakasa administration as a characteristic example of a post-town machiya townhouse. After restoration, it became a multipurpose facility with a café and lodgings, modeling how traditional buildings of Kumagawa-juku can be preserved and upgraded for future generations. The interior is open for viewing during café business hours.
