The Daihara Family Residence is located diagonally across from Daigahara Kinseiken along the old Koshu-kaido Road. Built in 1700, this traditional Japanese-style house is now more than 300 years old. The Daihara Family is descended from Yamataka Nobushige, who cultivated the area in the Muromachi Period (1336-1573). Members of the family serve as hereditary priests at Tanaka-jinja Shrine, which protected the Daigahara-shuku area. The building is a wooden one-story structure with metal plate gable roof, and was designated a cultural property of Hokuto City in 1998 due to its being one of the few remaining Shinto shrine priest’s residences built in the mid-Edo Period (1603-1868).
It was open to the general public for the first time in 2018; and since then, it is sometimes opened to promote revitalization of the area. It also hosts exhibits of art crafts and dolls.
