Hatta Family Residence Main House (Kanazawa)

A Tall Gable Facing the Lane

The Hatta Family Residence Main House (Kanazawa) (八田家住宅主屋) is a large azumadachi farmhouse of 1905 in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, and was registered as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property (structure) on November 8, 2004 (Agency for Cultural Affairs).

The Agency records a two-storey timber house with a tiled roof and a building area of 212 square metres; registration number 17-0113.

A Farmhouse off the Old Hokkoku Road

The Hatta Family Residence Main House stands in a village a short way off the old Hokkoku Road in northern Kanazawa (Agency for Cultural Affairs). It is 8 bays wide and 8 deep under a gabled tile roof, and apart from the entrance on the north side almost all of it is raised wooden floor.

Built of carefully chosen timber in quantity, it is tall and shows a great azumadachi gable to the front (Agency for Cultural Affairs).

Why It Was Registered

The Agency registered it for its contribution to the historic landscape: the large azumadachi gable makes it stand out in the village.

What to Look For

Look for the great gable facing front and the tall frame (Agency for Cultural Affairs). The west and south storehouses stand to the west and southwest, linked by covered passages.

It is a private home, and no official information on public access was found. The house as a whole is described on the Hatta Family Residence (Kanazawa) page.
