The Former Isobe Residence, located on Honmachi Street near Inuyama Castle, is a preserved Edo-period merchant house showcasing traditional architecture. Known as an "eel's bed" due to its narrow frontage and long depth, the residence features a unique 'mukuri-yane' (curved roof), a courtyard, and storehouses. Visitors can explore the interior, which includes exhibition rooms and learn about the building's history as a kimono merchant's home. The residence is free to enter and offers a glimpse into the lifestyle of Edo-period merchants. It's conveniently located a 10-minute walk from Inuyama Station.
