Kawabun

[2] Founded during the Edo period (1603–1867), the Kawabun became a successful business that was patronised by the Owari Tokugawa rulers.

In the Meiji period (1867–1911), successive politicians such as Ito Hirobumi also visited.

[5] In 2005, the main building, front gate, wall, wakimon gate, shinyotei, corridor, yoryotei, and kitchen were registered by the authorities as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties.

[3] The tsubo garden was created by the 10th generation Matsuo-ryu iemoto Matsuo Sogo (Fusensai).
