House

■ Shoya residence that has been around since the Edo period

The residence where the current Akada garden exists has served as a shoya for generations since the Edo period. The shoya residence is left with a strong color. The main gate was relocated from the Yashima residence in March 1918 and is still in existence.

As a biography, it is probable that when the landlord became a vassal of Nagamasa Azai, there was a vegetable field in Kusanotani, and he occasionally went to Kusanotani from the business trip residence in Yashima under Odani Castle to collect annual tributes and dispute. After that, he set up a building in what is now Ota.
