Ogawa family

A family of wealthy merchants that has been brewing since the late Edo period and led the modernization of Kurayoshi by engaging in the silk industry and other ventures after the Meiji era. The main house, Western-style building, new tatami room, and tea room "Seiwaken" are connected, coexisting as a public face of a businessman and a private space for enjoying tea. This building consists of five guest rooms and a front desk.

Prefectural designated cultural property "Ogawa Family" on the first floor of a single-story space. The three interconnected rooms, known as "Omote-zashiki, Naka-no-ma, and Oku-no-zashiki," exemplify the harmony of Japanese architecture. The courtyard, viewed from what was once called "Okunoma," is as beautiful as a postcard, captivating the hearts of those who see it. The soft light that reaches through the traditional transoms and glass sliding doors, adorned with designs from that era, creates a luxurious stay where one can quietly gaze at the garden while experiencing the beauty of traditional folk crafts.

The detached building of the Ogawa family, designated as a cultural property by the prefecture, was once a new sitting room. Passing through the dedicated gate, the approach guided by the fan-shaped stone pavement and the pine tree offers an invitation to the extraordinary. In the largest space within the building, the chrysanthemum panel paintings and exquisite shoji screens still radiate a pristine beauty. The courtyard visible from the bedroom resembles a painting that depicts the changing seasons. Further along the connecting corridor, experience a blissful retreat where you can privately enjoy the cultural property’s garden from the bathhouse.
