History behind the place
In 1600 A.D., Ieyasu Tokugawa who successfully won the battle of Sekigahara which decided the ruler of the country, opened up his government (called Bakufu) in Edo (Tokyo) and Tokugawa's reign lasted for over 260years. Back then, the Shogun built resting places every 4km along Nakasendo (one of the main road at the time) specially for him when he travels between Edo and Kyoto. One of those was this Tea house Mansion.
Tea house Mansion in Akasaka was built in 1604 when Ieyasu ordered local lords in the country of Mino. The building was originally built by Nobunaga Oda as a part of Gifu castle and Ieyasu transferred the building to Akasaka. The mansion consisted of 61 buildings in total. The Mansion had around 3.5Ha in area and the landscape was rectangular shape designed similar to the one of castles with watch posts in each corner, having official front entrance gate as well as moats surrounding the area. It was fully equipped grand mansion, however it was abolished after mid 17th century. In terms of modern transport history, the place is one of the rare, early day's Shogun's lodging. Thus it is specified as historic site. At the time of Meiji restoration, the government sold it off to Yabashi family and they have been keeping the place as historic site as well as peony garden.
