Garden and a house in front [Ashagi]

When you enter a house through a wooden four-legged gate with a tile roof, [Yahjou], and follow along the tile-and-stone walls, you will see, a wall, [Hinpun], in front of you. The [Hinpun] here has a middle gate that can only be opened in times of auspicious event. The wall blocks the view from the street.
In terms of a garden, common houses have just a practical open space, but only wealthy farmers own landscaped gardens. Only from the primary seating (ichiban-za)in the house of Jitude, you can see a unique garden of subtropical plants and decorative coral limestone rocks.

A pig house is located in north-west of the compound and now it is a goat house.

This building is “a house in front [Ashagi]”, annex tatami mat room and is used as a guest room or retirement room.

In year-round warm weather Japanese sago palms or windmill palms grow in many gardens. Due to the poor water supply, dry landscape gardens (karesansui) are common, where small hills, dry waterfalls, and stone bridges or steps remind us a Chinese landscape painting.
