Visit the birthplace of Kondo Heisaburo, a prominent figure in Japanese pharmaceutical history, located in Matsuzaki. This historic house features distinctive 'namako-kabe' (sea cucumber wall) construction, a traditional fire-resistant design. While the interior is not open to the public as it's a private residence, the exterior offers a glimpse into the architecture of the late Edo period. Situated along Namako-kabe Street, it's a must-see for those interested in local history and architecture. The best time to visit is during the day to fully appreciate the intricate details of the walls. Located next to the tourist information center.
