The Yokota family was a mid-ranking samurai of the Matsushiro clan with a height of 150 koku, and served as the district magistrate and official servant.They were given a mansion with a frontage of 22 rooms, and many buildings from the Edo period still remain within the mansion. This is one of the most representative samurai residences in Matsushiro, where you can get a glimpse of the life of middle-class samurai at the time. The former main house of the Yokota family was built in 1794, and is a two-story wooden building with a hipped roof and thatched roof, 17.2 m of girder, and 9.5 m of beam spacing.
