Hotta Masatomo, the last feudal lord of Sakura Domain, lived in this house when he moved from Tokyo to Sakura after the restoration of Imperial power in 1868.
After a large-scale repair and restoration work in the autumn of 1999, it was designated as an important national cultural asset in 2000.
The inner court made by Iichi Hikoemon, a gardener in the Meiji period, is open to public at all times as “Sakura Teien (Cherry Garden).”
