The Nakie House, surrounded by the rural landscape of Nara Prefecture, is a residence built on the site of a medieval warlord's residence. The estate, surrounded by a double moat, houses well-preserved main buildings of the prestigious Yamato-style architecture. The interior preserves the lifestyle of the warrior class, inviting visitors into the world of the Edo period.
The main buildings of the Nakie House, including the main residence and the Buddhist hall, are designated as important cultural properties of the country. From the arrangement and structure of the buildings, the status and caste system of the warrior class can be glimpsed. Additionally, the oldest umeboshi (pickled plums) in Japan is also a highlight.
