A valuable preserved house that gives visitors an insight into the Showa Period
Shimabara Yusuikan is located in the center of the Town where the carp swim, it is a one-story wooden house with a tiled roof built in the early Showa period and designated as a Tangible Cultural Property by the Japanese government. Shimabara City restored it to its original appearance between 2003 and 2005. It was named “Yusuikan” so that visitors can use it to enjoy Shimabara’s spring water tours.
The house is made of toga wood, and the layout, transoms, shoin (drawing room), and other features make it a valuable preservation house that gives visitors an insight into the Showa period. The house is open free of charge for tourists visiting Shimabara to take a rest and relax. (*Cafe menu is available for a fee.)

襖(ふすま)の溝が一方通行!?
一般的な襖は左右に分けて真ん中で揃える形になっていますが、ここの襖は真ん中でずれることのないよう襖1枚分ずつで溝がとまっています。掃除もしやすく、見た目も美しい画期的なものです。

ちょっと趣向を凝らした庭園
屋敷の西側の湧水源から南向きに引かれた水路を水が流れ、東向きに曲がって池に注ぎ、ちょっと趣向を凝らした庭園となっています。

縁側から眺める5月のツツジ、11月頃のツワの花などは特に綺麗で、心休まる静かな場所です。
