The Shida Residence
The Shida Residence is a traditional townhouse built around 1855, the year following the Great Ansei Earthquake, and is one of the oldest buildings in Kamabara.
The exterior features a gabled roof with a flat gable end and tile roofing; traces of a large door can be seen at the entrance to the earthen-floored area. Furthermore, the shop room facing the Tōkaidō Road still uses sliding shutters (shitomi-do), creating an atmosphere that evokes the past.
The Shida Residence, known by the trade name “Yamaroku,” was a merchant house that brewed soy sauce and miso; as a result, tools from that era remain on site to this day. It was designated a Nationally Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 2001. Furthermore, the facility where soy sauce was brewed is open to the public as the “Tokaido Town Life History Museum.”
