Yukawa Residence

The Yukawa Residence (旧湯川家屋敷) offers a fascinating glimpse into how the Aiba Waterway was once an essential part of daily life. This historic home features a unique bathing area where an opening in the floor gives direct access to the canal, allowing residents to bathe while maintaining privacy with wooden blinds. Stone steps inside the house lead directly to the canal, where people could wash vegetables and household items.

The waterway also enhances the beauty of the Yukawa Residence by feeding a serene pond in the garden. This combination of practical design and aesthetic charm makes the residence a remarkable example of how water was seamlessly integrated into everyday living. Visitors can explore the residence and experience how life revolved around the Aiba Waterway in the past.
