Nishioka Family Residence

The Nishioka family found great success in the shipping industry, trading porcelain goods during the Edo period (1603–1867). This main residence of the family was constructed in 1855, taking close to three years to complete. The house is built in the igura style, identified by hipped, tiled roofs with triangular sections of wall visible between the roofs. Main entrances are located at both the front and back of the building, connected by a large corridor. The purpose of having two entrances was to be able to conduct their shipping business via the river in back while welcoming customers arriving on the old Nagasaki Highway in front.

Upon entering through either door, one sees an earthen-floored corridor running the length of the house. The eight rooms along the corridor were built with raised floors due to the frequency of flooding from the nearby river. The spacious estate consists of the main house, storehouses, and an annex, reflecting the considerable wealth of the Nishioka family. The weapons on display in some of the rooms may have been kept by the family to show off their wealth, since the wealthiest merchants tended to have such weapons.

The residence was designated a Cultural Property of National Importance on February 5, 1974.

西岡家住宅

江戶時代（1603-1867），西岡家在航運業和陶瓷器貿易業取得了巨大的成功。這座家族主宅於1855年開建，花了將近3年時間才完工。房屋為居藏式，其特徵在於瓦片屋頂間帶有三角形山牆的結構。宅邸前後均開大門，其間以一道寬敞的走廊相連；兩道大門各有作用，後門方便河上船運業務運轉，前門則迎接從古老的長崎街道上到來的客人。

無論從哪扇門走進宅邸，都能看到一條泥土地走廊貫穿屋宅前後，沿著走廊的8個房間都建在抬高的地台上，這一設計是為了應對因臨河而常會遭遇的水患。佔地廣闊的宅邸內包含主屋、庫房和一處附屬建築，足見西岡家財富之可觀。如今在幾個房間裡展示出的武器，很可能是這個家族為炫富所收藏，因為當時富有的商人都喜歡珍藏這樣的武器。

這處宅邸已於1974年2月5日被指定為國家重要文化財產。
