Himeji Castle’s back parlor-like　400-year-old inn ”Tetsu-juro”【former Oguni’s residence】

The 400-year-old nationally registered tangible cultural property accommodation facility ‘Tetsu-juro’.
Former Oguni house is the birthplace of Tetsu-juro Oguni, who’s family was village headmen during the Edo period. He was executed as a substitute for farmers during the Bantan Uprising in 1871. This place is also known for a clinic which contributed to local medical care from the Meiji to the Showa period. This inn was named after Tetsu-juro.

In 2007, the main house, row-house gate, clinic and earthen walls were registered as a National Cultural Property for the first time in Kanzaki-gun, Hyogo Prefecture.
