The Nabari Todo family residence began with Takayoshi, who was the third son of TakatoraTodo Nobunaga's chief retainer Niwa Nagahide and adopted by Todo Takatora, and has been living in Nabari since 1636. He was given 15,000 koku by the Tsumoto family, and was the 11th generation to celebrate the Meiji Restoration. The existing building was destroyed by the Great Nabari Fire in 1710, but was rebuilt afterward.According to the mansion map passed down to the Todo family, it has several functions due to its usage and the character of the building. The number of tatami mats listed is 1,083 tatami mats. Most of the building was demolished in the first year of the Meiji era, but a part of the inner part of the building was used for daily life, such as the inner part called "Onishi", a celebration room, a tea ceremony room, and the main gate (to Juei Shrine). It is a valuable example of an early modern samurai residence, of which there are few remaining structures nationwide. Inside the building, furniture passed down from the Nabari Todo family, as well as weapons, classic books, and documents are on display, allowing visitors to get a glimpse of the lives of senior samurai in the early modern period.
