HISTORY
Kominka Sui, located near the Nikko Higashi-Okan Expressway, was originally the main house of the former Yamakawa residence.
The Yamakawa family was a powerful clan in the Middle Ages, a prominent clan in northern Kanto known as the Yuki clan.
They were a particularly distinguished samurai family, one of the "Yuki Four Heavenly Kings."
The exact year the house was built is unknown, but surviving registration information from 1868 suggests it was built at least 150 years ago.
