The Minowa family residence stood in the Hachikoku district of the city of Echizen. Minowa was a village headman in the Edo Period. The residence was built in the early 18^th century, according to two written records from 1793 and 1809. Its current state is believed to have been the result from repeated renovations overtime. It has a hip-and-gable and thatched roof construction. The earthen floor, oue room, and kitchen in the front of the house are all aligned. There is a room installed with a cooking stove/sink in front of the oue room and kitchen. The back of the home is like a square divided into four rooms (nakama, takama, sitting room, Buddhist altar room).
