Between the displayed buildings of the Edo and Meiji Periods are farmstead, several craft workshops, a warehouse, Kabuki Theater and a suspension bridge constructed of vine.

Takamatsu Castle
Takamatsu Castle, also called Tamamo Castle was constructed in 1590 near to the sea, a peculiarity between the Japanese castles. The Ikoma Clan took the control from the castle during 54 years, before the fief was transferred to the Matsudaira Clan, relatives of the Tokugawa Clan, who resided there for the rest of the Edo Period.
