Mid-Edo period ・ In 1733, Shinpachi I started a business of grain, rapeseed oil, tobacco, cotton, and sake brewing in the present-day Grain-machi, Suzaka City.

Shinpachi was a purveyor to the Suzaka clan from generation to generation, and grew into a landowner who was allowed to wear the family name and sword.

The house is surrounded by 20 storehouses in a 100m square area, and inside is a garden with a pond garden, a guest house, and the main house, all of which can be enjoyed in any season.

In the storehouses, there are articles used in the Tanaka family's daily life from the mid-Edo period to the Showa period, such as costumes, lacquerware, ceramics, toys, and documents … in very good condition. In addition to the permanent exhibition, special exhibitions are held five times a year.
