The former residence of ceramics merchant Tamesaburo Imoto was built between the end of the Taisho period and the beginning of the Showa period. Japanese- and Western-style buildings are preserved on the grounds, along with two storehouses—one in the west and the other in the east—a tea room, and a garden.
