Description :
The Abeke House is located in Omori-cho at the foot of the Iwami Ginzan, which once boasted the highest silver production in Japan. It is a place where the remnants of the Edo period, which prospered as a silver mine and reached cultural maturity, are alive here and there. At first glance, this small town, which seems to have been left behind by the times, still has the spirit of enjoying living in harmony with nature, which modern Japan has lost sight of. The Abeke House is a samurai residence of the Abe family, a local official built in 1789. It took 13 years to restore this 230 year old samurai house. Today it functions as the Takyo Abeke guesthouse.

Parking is available at MapCode: 559 113 356*33.

Remnants of the past days are left around the mansion, such as signboards with seasons, chests of drawers, glass with retro patterns, and tea utensils that the Doctor would have loved. The Kato family is now making the most of them and connecting the past and the future here.
