Motojuku Jin'ya

History

Motojuku-jin'ya, constructed in 1696, was the seat of Shibata Katsukado who served the Tokugawa regime as a bugyō (magistrate). This tenryō (a domain controlled directly by the Shogunate through deputies) was valued at over 3,000 koku. Motojuku-jin'ya was used througout the Edo period, and, after the abolition of feudalism, the main residence hall was used and preserved by the Tomita family.

Visit Notes

Motojuku-jin'ya, now also known as the Kyū-Daikan-yashiki (Former Magistrate Residence), is a jin'ya site with extant architecture in Motojuku Township, Okazaki Municipality. There is a small exhbition hall in the residence's storehouse, but the main residence hall is now used as a café and Italian restaurant. There's something to me which seems wholly inappropriate about them not serving Japanese cuisine here!
