In the Showa Eleventh Show, Magoemon, the eighth generation of the Niwa family who worked as a planting craftworker representing Shimizu from the Edo period to the late Meiji era, used what was originally a wooden masonry building at the marriage of the ninth generation to reinforced concrete construction It rebuilt.
It has been over 70 years since its establishment but because the preservation state was well preserved in the early Showa era at the time of construction, it was designated as a national registered tangible cultural asset in December 2007.
