NOZAKI residence, the largest of this kind I've ever seen

It was more than ten years ago that I first came here as part of the four. I do not remember how the tour was and how the travelers liked the house. Come to think of it this time, however, the house is huge. Now there's a street called JEANS STREET near the house. People must come to the house and take a stroll along the Jeans street where jeans and other denim goods are on sale. Nice destination. 

 The garden is well maintained and grand

 So many rooms

 42 meters from this end to the other end

Room after room !!

 Funny animal in the garden 

Must be BIZEN ware, since it's a local pottery in Okayama.

 Lovable guy in the garden, also BIZEN 

 Clean, peaceful, and pastoral

 All storehouses !!

The NOZAKI family prospered as a very wealthy merchant family and dealt with salt making, for one thing.
