Matsugaoka
The Yamabuchi family was known as a merchant of the Kakegawa clan in the late Edo period, and the family business operated an oil wholesaler. Many pine trees were planted in the mansion and the surrounding area, and it was called “Matsugaoka” because it looked like an oka if you looked from a distance. It is a place where the history of the history that remains today remains.
During the Edo period, he was also involved in Kakegawa Kaede’s school, where he originally taught only warriors to merchants. Kakegawa’s education was the first in Japan for “lifelong education” and was in Matsugaoka.
The Yamabuchi family, who had run an oil wholesaler, was involved in rearranging debts at the end of the Edo period and became one of the richest people in the prefecture. Not only that, “Matsugaoka” has the history of those who have made efforts to modernize it, such as investing in the development of the region, not just for self-interest.
Eight buildings and gardens located in a vast site that exceeds 1600 tsubo. The Oji-jiki, with a wonderful garden, stayed when Emperor Meiji arrived here. In addition, “Matsugaoka” is a spectacular mansion, including a “safe vault” that houses bank banking assets, and a backyard with a lot of merchant mansion houses that store merchandise such as rice and miso. . Why don’t you take a peek at the rich mansion in Meiji from Edo?
