Chishinkan

Background

This site, which is now called the Chishinkan, was the birthplace and villa of the 35th Prime Minister Kiichiro Hiranuma (1867) before moving to Tokyo in 1872. When Hiranuma visited Tsuyama as a child he also stayed here. At one point the house was sold but it was bought back by local citizens in 1935 and restored to the state of when the prime minister would have visited as a child and gifted to him. Hiranuma gifted the residence back to the city in 1950 to use for the public good. It served for a time as the local history museum and is now used as a small community center. it is not open to the public but it is said that the house is very typical construction for middle level samurai home of the time.
