  • 5/5 大津芳之 Y O. 7 months ago on Google • 645 reviews
    The 300-year-old Sakano family residence A ``rich farmer's mansion'' from the mid-Edo period...The historic front gate and main house are surrounded by a ``stylish black wall.'' The spacious mansion is dotted with old storage rooms, work sheds, and other structures. The mansion has a tasteful appearance...including the garden, and it was even more impressive than I expected. This house is often used as a filming location for movies and TV dramas by public broadcasters as well as commercial broadcasters...TV dramas. The historical drama ``JIN'' was so interesting that I used to watch it every week. The inside of the mansion was open to the public, and we were able to spend a very valuable time ``touring the interior rooms and living facilities.''

    The basic structure is that a stylish shoin from the Meiji era has been added to the main building built in the Edo period on a large site (many parts of which have been dismantled and rebuilt with great difficulty). The well-trodden dirt floor is also quite impressive. This place is famous as a filming location for dramas, and is used for many other things besides historical dramas, so you may have seen some of it at least once. Parking is available and tours are available at a low price. The path through the bamboo forest was beautiful, but it was cool after the typhoon had passed and I was chased by mosquitoes, so I couldn't walk on it. I thought I was carrying insect repellent, but I was carrying medicine for insect bites... It looks good in autumn and winter as well.

    Cheap, beautiful and relatively unknown place to visit. Unlike the overrated Seizanso in Hitachiota, this place has been well preserved. The main and secondary building are spacious, it will take you around one hour to visit the whole facility, including the garden. The entrance is 300 yens, which is more than reasonable considering the amount of maintenance required. It has been used as a set for numerous Japanese movies and dramas.

    A friend of mine told me that Rose🌹 was beautiful, so I googled it, but I came to find out that there was apparently a parking lot here. but! Unexpectedly moving~✨ The thatched roof is amazing, and there is a bath in the transom and toilet. And there are steep stairs in the old house (lol) I've seen stoves in other old houses, but the size and spaciousness of this one is in a class of its own. I was surprised at how small the maid's room was😳 The person who explained it to me was easy to understand and polite. I felt good about it. Until now, the signboard along the road. I've seen it many times, but did it say "Mizukaido Land Museum"? And 🤔. When I saw only the Sakano residence, I thought it was a housing exhibition hall, so I felt it was a waste.

    After watching the TV drama ``Grand Mama's Melancholy,'' I went to see the filming location of the Sakano family residence, also known as the Domeki family. It is a wealthy farmer's mansion built over 300 years ago and has a site of approximately 10,000 square meters.The main building, front gate, and attached fence have been designated as nationally important cultural properties, and are open to the public as the Mitsukaido Land Museum. The main house has three rooms: a four-room living area with rooms arranged in a rice field shape, a spacious earthen floor, and a tatami room with a key. A complex, all-thatched, gabled, curved roof covers the mansion. The openwork transoms, doorways, and altars are also skillfully crafted. At the rear of the west side of the main building is a two-story wooden tile-roofed study called Tsukiha-ro. It is a modern and delicate Taisho architecture with lattice doors, glass doors, a bathroom with an umbrella ceiling, alcoves, and transoms. The view of the backyard from this second floor is also atmospheric. In addition, surrounding the samurai residence-like walls is a mansion forest with plum gardens, bamboo groves, and miscellaneous trees, as well as hydrangeas and shaga, creating a refreshing spatial scene. I have seen various Japanese private houses all over the country, but this one is rare in every respect, including its structure, size, and history, and combined with its beautiful state of preservation, I think it is a national treasure. Admission fee: 300 yen for adults (free for those over 65). The parking lot is located along the approach road at the southwestern entrance of Yashikimori, and can accommodate about 30 cars. There is also a large parking lot for large vehicles and location personnel.

    (Translated by Google) With an admission fee of 300 yen, it's a very relaxing and wonderful place! You can have a good time with a polite explanation. It was well managed and it was a place I wanted to visit again 🎵 (It was a lot of location locations 😀) * Walk a little from the parking lot (free) 👣 (Original) 入場料300円で、とても落ち着ける素敵な場所です!丁寧に説明もして下さり、良い時間が過ごせます。管理も行き届いていて、また訪れたくなる場所でした🎵(沢山のロケ場所になっていました😀) ※駐車場(無料)から少し歩きます👣

    (Translated by Google) It's like a time slip in the Edo period. Unfortunately, as of December 12, 2021, the main building was under repair, but the staff explained it carefully. The building is also a highlight, but the bamboo grove and Japanese garden are also wonderful. It was said that the repair of the main building will be completed in April 2022, so I would like to visit again. (Original) 江戸時代にタイムスリップしたような場所です。 残念ながら2021年12月12日現在、主屋は修理中でしたが職員の方が丁寧に解説してくれました。 建物も見所ですが竹林や日本庭園もお見事です。 2022年4月には主屋の修理も完了するとのことでしたのでまた訪問したいと思います。

  • 5/5 ST A. 9 months ago on Google • 399 reviews
    An old wealthy merchant's house. It has a luxurious structure with thick beams, a single piece of zelkova, cypress pillars, and precious black persimmon pillars. It was renovated during the Meiji and Taisho eras, so you can see the Edo period and modern Japan all at once. The wind-up wall clock was still in good condition and was keeping time with a nice sound. There are forests and bamboo thickets, so it's a pretty cool place. The parking lot is gravel and holds about 20 cars, so it looks like you can park around there, and it's free. This makes the tour fee of 300 yen for adults worth it. It is also frequently used as a filming location for television and movies.

    Everything is well maintained and the space is beautiful. Not a single weed grows in the garden. It's fun to imagine what life was like here in the past. No wonder it is a filming location for movies and dramas.

    (Translated by Google) 2022/06/17 First visit. The Sakano family residence, which I have been interested in for a long time, was a wealthy farmer from the Muromachi period. The entrance fee is 300 yen, but I was able to enjoy it. (Original) 2022/06/17 初訪問。 前から気になっていた坂野家住宅は室町時代時代からの豪農でした。拝観料は300円ですが満喫できました。

    (Translated by Google) The autumn leaves in the Japanese garden were very beautiful. It was nice to take a walk in the bamboo grove Thatched roof was being repaired The upper mouth was too high and it was a tough step for the elderly, so I would like the elderly to have another two steps so that they can easily go up. (Original) 日本庭園の紅葉がとても綺麗でした。 竹林も散歩をすると気持ちが良かったです 茅葺きが補修中だった 上リ口が高すぎて、高齢者にはキツい段だったので、高齢者もあがりやすいようにあと2段くらいおいて欲しいです。

  • 4/5 村山祐太 1 year ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Old houses with thatched roofs are not uncommon in Japan, but I think there are many cultural assets from the late Edo period (about 150 years old). This building is over 300 years old, and I think it is very rare. First of all, the video of a little over 5 minutes gives you an overview, but the contents were concisely organized. After that, I will take a private tour, but the beams are splendid, and the Shinto altar and the hearth make me feel old-fashioned and historical, so I can fully enjoy the cultural assets. It claims to be a climate museum, but there was not much commentary and it was a little unsatisfactory, but it was very good because I could enter this old private house for 300 yen. (Original) 茅葺きの古民家は日本中で珍しくないですが、江戸後期(築150年程度)の文化財が多いかと思います。ここはなんと築300年に及ぶ建物で、大変希少かと思います。 はじめに5分ちょっとのビデオで概要を学ばせてくれますが、内容は簡潔にまとまってました。そのあと内覧しますが、梁が立派で神棚とか囲炉裏とかも古めかしく歴史を感じさせてくれて、文化財をボリューミーに堪能できます。 風土博物館を名乗りますが解説文章はあまりなく少し物足りなかったですが、300円でこれだけの古民家に入れるのでとても良かったです。

    Nationally designated important cultural property over 300 years old A wealthy farmer's house from the Edo period, locally known as Daijin Yashiki Entrance fee 300 yen, silver free The parking lot is separated for general cars and location cars. When you park your car and walk down a dense path that resembles a mountain road, you will see a bamboo forest on the left that has been used for various filming locations. Follow the road, pass through the gate that is designated as a nationally designated important cultural property, and after completing the reception, you can watch a video of the building's origins. There are also 4 stoves. There are several rooms, all with garden views. There were several dens and bathrooms, which I think was unusual at the time. At the end of the tour, we were given permission to take photos. The staff member was a very pleasant man and spoke to me in detail.

    It is a nationally designated important cultural property. I heard that it is also used as a filming location for famous dramas that I have seen. Admission fee was 300 yen for adults. It was my first time visiting here, but the weather was nice and I had a pleasant walk. It's been several years since I moved here, but there are still many things I don't know about Ibaraki Prefecture. It was Discover Ibaraki. I felt that the land is as rich as ever.

    (Translated by Google) It is an old private house🏚 There were no other visitors, so I was able to take a leisurely look around 😄✨¥300 It was good that the gentle-spoken uncle guided me carefully✨ It seems that this place has been used as a filming location for NHK period dramas and TV commercials recently [Kindaichi Shonen no Jikenbo]😄🎶 Feeling nostalgic time slip to the building structure, scenery and smell 🤭 It was a pity that I couldn't walk in the bamboo forest because I found a beehive 🐝 Above all, it was a good place to rent out and spend time slowly 🤗💞 (Original) 昔の民家です🏚 他に入館者がいなかったのでのんびりゆっくり内覧出来ました😄✨¥300 優しい口調のおじさんが丁寧に案内してくれて良かったです✨ この場所でNHK時代劇やTVCM最近では【金田一少年の事件簿】の撮影場所になったそうです😄🎶 建物の造りや景観そして匂いまで懐かしくタイムスリップした感じ🤭 蜂の巣🐝発見で歩けなかった竹林が残念でしたが 何より貸し切りでゆっくりと時間が流れるいい場所でした🤗💞

    坂野家の解説ビデをから明治23年の銅版画に描かれた物を再現する事に寄り豪壮な主屋と表門、2階建ての書院、豪農の家の姿をとどめる茅葺き屋根、塀の外にある復元された庭園や竹林や梅林が季節の変わり目にその優美さをあらわす作りの様です。次回は秋口に来て満点評価か楽しみです。

    友達の車で訪問しました。こんなお屋敷があったのかと思うほど立派な茅葺のお屋敷です。こちらは多くの撮影地として使われているようです。屋敷の中は、その往年の暮らしぶりが偲ばれつくりですので、是非訪ねてもらいたいですね。使われている襖絵、扁額などには明治、大正を代表する中村不折が使われていたりして、贅の一端も伺わせます。とても広い敷地丸々残っている名も貴重だとおもいます。また隣接されている坂野ガーデンさんは、この坂野家のかた。こちらも併せてご覧になっても良いと思います。薔薇の育種かでもあるオーナーさんでので面白いと思います。

    (Translated by Google) I am the only visitor on weekdays. An old folk house that became a shooting place for movies, dramas, and commercials. I had a wonderful space all to myself. (Original) 平日で見学者は自分ひとり。 映画やドラマ、CMの撮影場所になった古民家。 ステキな空間を独り占めでした。
