■ A lucky “fire ward” house that escaped many large fires

Former Fukasawa family in Usami, Ito. He was involved in the shipping business, which relays tuna and other marine products, and is believed to have been involved in merchant and banking business, mainly in the management of forests and fields, during the Meiji era.
This mansion, built in 1919, has survived a miraculous escape from the fire in the Usami area, where many large fires struck. It is said that the people of the earth have come to call them “houses for fire protection” as if they respect the blessings of heaven.
In December 2018, it was reborn as a gastronomic and peaceful space called “Kyoto Hiyokeya”. Japanese cuisine, which uses abundant Izu foods and is eaten in a building with a history of more than 100 years, is a Japanese tradition that you can enjoy with your five senses.
