I was at Miyano Old House Natural Garden in Senzoku. It is a small museum where old folk houses and old folk tools are exhibited. It is not far from my house, but I had never visited there before, so I decided to give it a try.
Miyano Old House Natural Garden is located in the middle of a residential area. As soon as you enter through the wooden gate along the bus route, the main house immediately comes into view. It is a large main house. Whoever owned such a large main house must have been the village headman in the old days. Surprisingly, the answer came back that the family was not the village headman.
The owner of this house made his fortune selling bamboo and built this large house. Bamboo is the perfect material for the tools used in seaweed cultivation. Since the area was famous for bamboo, it is said that the bamboo, which was abundant in the area, was sold in Haneda, which was a seaweed-growing area. This magnificent old house is a bamboo palace.
