The Hirokane Residence 広兼邸
岡山県高梁市成羽町中野

Hirokane Mansion

The owner of the copper and bengara mines lived here at the end of the Edo period. Since 1983, the prefecture runs this residence as a museum and important cultural property.
The detective story series and movie about "Yatsuhaka Mura" (Village with eight graves" used this home as a location twice. The movie "Inugamike no Ichizoku" (The Inugami Clan) also used this area as a location. Therefore it is well known to the Japanese.

Further down the road toward Fukiya is the Sasaune tunnel for digging copper.
