From the pamphlet I got at the tourist information center in front of the station, it is an old folk house built in 1607. You can only see it from the side, but you just feel that it's a big mansion.

The oldest private house in Japan in Gojo Shinmachi

Original Text

It is the oldest private house in Japan in the Gojo Shinmachi district, which is selected as an important preservation district for traditional buildings. It is said that there is a munefuda in 1607 in Keicho 12. It will be several years after the Battle of Sekigahara. It has a large and magnificent stance like a temple, and is a building that stands out especially in the Gojo Shinmachi area. It is designated as a national important cultural property, and what is surprising is that it is still used as a residence. The interior is private.

The oldest private house

Original Text

It is the oldest private house in the record with an old townscape in Gojo City, Nara Prefecture. My husband still lives there, so I can't go inside, but it's amazing to live in a wooden private house that has been around for more than 400 years.

The oldest house in Japan

Original Text

It seems to be the oldest house in Japan in the year of construction. It is about a 10-minute walk from JR Gojo Station and is built normally along the national highway. Actually, it's a very large mansion in the back, and I can't go inside, but I'm satisfied with the appearance alone. It has existed for more than 400 years, and that alone makes me feel romantic.
