【Izu Bunya】 Built in Meiji 43 (1910) (1910), the Izubun Residence was once run by a kimono merchant. In Matsuzaki Town, the building was donated by the owner and the interior was developed as a valuable historical building representing the Meiji era. Currently, it is open as a free rest area. In the park next to the Izubun residence, there is also a foot bath.

Photo taken on 2/26 The early-blooming Oshima cherry blossoms in Nagisa Small Park are now in full bloom. This large cherry tree is said to be a variety created by crossing Oshima cherry and Yoshino cherry blossoms, and is in full bloom from early ~ mid-March every year. Perhaps because there are many days with high temperatures this year, it is already in full bloom! It has many flower buds and is one that is worth seeing. 【Nagisa Small Park】Address: Nagisa Town, Atami City (in front of Shinsui Park 3rd Construction Zone)

【Meiji Merchant House Nakase Residence】 The Nakase residence was built in Meiji 20 (1887) as the residence of Naokichi Yoda, a wealthy merchant who made a fortune as a kimono wholesaler. Since the trade name of Yoda Naokichi Kure Clothing Store was "Nakase", it is now called Nakase Residence. In 1988 (Showa 63) (1998), Matsuzaki Town purchased a mansion consisting of seven buildings, including the main house and a storehouse, and the main house is open to the public as an ethnic museum. The buildings are lavishly furnished, from timber to fine carvings and hardware, and you can get a glimpse of the life of a wealthy merchant at that time. In particular, the black plastered sea cucumber wall of the storehouse built in the main house can only be seen here in Matsuzaki Town.

【Shizuoka Prefecture Designated Cultural Property Former Yoda Residence】 Heisei 22 (2010) (2010) The buildings of the Yoda family residence were designated as Shizuoka Prefecture designated tangible cultural properties (buildings). A total of five buildings were targeted: the main house built 300 years ago, the detachment built as a guest room 200 years ago, and the three warehouses (utensils, rice warehouses, and miso warehouses) built at the end of the Edo period. It is said that the main house was built over 13 years around the time of Genroku, and although the exterior is a private house with sea cucumber walls that is often seen in Matsuzaki, it is a complete fireproof building with plaster to the rafters of the eaves, and a copper plate fire door is built at the eaves. This building is a large-scale private house that was used as a residence for a wealthy lord, and is the second oldest private house in the Izu area.

【Nationally Designated Important Cultural Property Iwashina School】 A school of sea cucumber walls and shrine-like architecture completed in Meiji 13 (1880). Incorporating the traditional architectural methods of Matsuzaki Town and Western architectural styles, it is known as the oldest school building in the Izu area as a masterpiece of wooden architecture. It is a two-story wooden hipped building, the building is symmetrical, and the exterior is a "sea cucumber wall". The Tonshi of "Iwashina School" displayed at the main entrance is the calligraphy of Sanjo Sanetomi, the Minister of Taisei at the time, and the dragon on it is said to have been carved by Chohachi Irie by borrowing the "chisel" of the building beam. It is an impressive building with a Western-style design, and is known in Japan as the second oldest after the former Rikuzawa School in Kofu and the former Kaichi School in Matsumoto, and was designated as an important cultural property of Japan in Showa 50 (1975). In Matsuzaki, there was a high enthusiasm for the promotion of education in the village, and donations were collected for the construction of the school building, and more than 40% of the total construction cost was covered by donations.

【Chohachi Memorial Hall】 You can see the works of Chohachi Irie, a native of Matsuzaki who made a name for himself as a master plasterer craftsman in the Edo period. Chohachi Irie went to Edo at the age of 23 to study the paintings of the Kano school, while mastering the art of sculpture and plasticity, applying it to the work of plastering, and perfecting Chohachi's unique art of painting with plaster and trowel. Chohachi worked tirelessly in Edo, but at that time there were many fires in Edo, and most of the works were destroyed by fire, and the remaining works were lost in the earthquake and war, so there are very few surviving works, except for the works that remain in Matsuzaki Town. The memorial hall is located in Jokanji Temple, the last temple of Jodo Shinshu Nishi Honganji. This is because when Chohachi rebuilt Jokanji Temple (2nd year of Hiroka), he brought in two disciples from Edo and left the ceiling paintings, sculptures, and stucco work in the temple. In addition, in Heisei 23 (2011), "Unryu" and "A pair of statues of Hiten" were designated as Shizuoka Prefecture Tangible Cultural Properties.

Soshisha This is the residence where Meiji writer Tsubouchi, who is also famous as a translator of Shakespeare, spent 15 years from 1920 (Taisho 9)) to his death in 1935 (Showa 10)). Tsubouchi lived in Ara-lodging (present-day Ginza-cho) for about nine years, translating Shakespeare's plays and writing plays such as "Starry Night in the Shadows" and "The Last of the Righteous Time," but when the quiet lodging became noisy and he could no longer concentrate on his writing, he built this new Sokakisha in Mizuguchi-cho. It came to be called "Soshisha" after the fact that there are two large persimmon trees that are said to be more than 300 years old. In the mansion, there is a tower-shaped bookstore and a brush mound, and the oblate of the gate by Aizu Yaichi's brush is also a highlight. * You can tour the garden and the bookstore. < Middle Gate> The inscription "雙柿屋" on the oblong is written by Yaichi Aizu (Akiyo Michijin).

"Standing in the winter garden with a skinny king, the appearance of the lid and persimmon is interesting" "Two persimmons, dyeing the gate with the setting sun" * Since the remaining one tree was also in a state of withering, in February 1999 (Heisei 11) (1999), we received a donation of Hachiya persimmons from Minokamo City, Gifu Prefecture, the birthplace of Haruka, and planted a tree. <Brush> It was erected in the 3rd year of Showa 12) (1937) at the thought of his wife. The stone is a natural Tsukuba stone. Underneath this, a brush and a fountain pen used by Xiaoyao are housed in a granite box. The inscription on the monument is Aizu Yaichi. <Monument of Fukunoyu> It was built in Mizuguchien in 1932 (Showa 7) (1932) and moved to Sokakisha in 2007 (Heisei 19) (2007).

On the occasion of the success of the hot spring spring in Showa 3) (1928), Saiharu named it Fukunoyu, but when erecting a monument describing its origin in Showa 7) (1932), he wrote the title and inscription at the request of Yoshio Mizutani, the owner of Mizuguchi Garden. "Oyster fields to be seen in the old days around here, Yae Yakusei Heru to Kabe Narishi, In view of the changing needs of the time with the large house of the village and Mizutani Nushi, a part of the end of the 11th year of Taisho was turned into an amusement park, and in the fall of Showa 2, the construction was completed as expected in July of the following year, and it was not necessary to order the name of the hot spring and to publish the origin of it. 　The land west of the Hatsukawa River is believed to be only a spring vein, and although it is a provisional decree, it always comes to failure, and the vine is the one who has done so before any of the lords of the garden. For the prosperity of this garden, and for the sake of the prosperity of this garden, and for the sake of the prosperity of this garden, and for the sake of the prosperity of this garden, and for the sake of the prosperity of this garden, and for the sake of the fountain, and for the sake of the well, the name of the hot spring is the name of the bath. 　August Lucky Day of the 7th year of the Showa era, the persimmon of the house next door, the bald brush is also signed." < kiln-style incinerator> Ikuta Fukuzo.
