This brick warehouse was built over 100 years ago as an orchid warehouse for a silk thread factory. The roof tiles, ginkgo trees, and metasequoia trees that were inherited from the demolition of Ozu Castle in 1898 were planted on the premises, and they became symbols of the area. In recent years, its survival was in danger due to deterioration, but with the help of preservation efforts by local volunteers, the brick warehouse was renovated, and the tables and chairs were both Western antiques and items from local old folk houses, recreating the atmosphere of the Meiji era. It was reborn as the ``Garyu Brick Warehouse''.
