"NIPPONIA Harima Fukusaki Library Maison" is a building belonging to the Miki family (Miki House), who once served as the headman of the Himeji domain (a role similar to that of a modern government office) and contributed greatly to the development of the region. Six of the nine buildings designated as Important Tangible Cultural Properties of Hyogo Prefecture have been renovated and used as accommodation facilities. The Miki House is also known as the place where folklorist Kunio Yanagita was entrusted to the Miki family for about a year when he was 11 years old, and spent his time reading the large number of books collected by the successive heads of the family. In addition, the adjacent "Former Tsujikawa Post Office" is registered as an Important Tangible Cultural Property of Japan, and the first floor is used as a "Yokai Book Cafe" and the second floor as guest rooms of the Library House.
"Apartment"
The "Hanre" is an executive suite built in 1773 during the Edo period, featuring a long veranda facing the courtyard. At the time, it was used as a room for the Miki family. There are many bookshelves on the second floor, and it is said that young Kunio Yanagita was absorbed in reading.
"Vice-house"
The "Fukuya" is said to have been a room used as a study or bedroom by the head of the Miki family.
Built-in
The "Uchikura" is said to have been used as a storage place for important documents, etc. Built in 1697, it is said to be the oldest of the surviving buildings of the Miki family residence.
Kakuzo
It is believed to have been used as a tool shed. It was built in 1838 (Tenpo 9) during the late Edo period. On the ceiling beams, you can see a ridgepole plaque (a plaque attached to record the construction and repair of a building) that reads "Tenpo 9 Boju Year."
