It is a royal farm house built about 280 years ago, and has been spared the war disaster of the Okinawa War to completely leave the private house structure of the Ryukyu Dynasty period. Since he was a local head of state around the year of Kyoho 10 (1720), he also has a stately status as a form of a shabby house. Other features include kitchens with low roofs to use the attic called tungwa for storage, and pig huts called fools. The influence of medieval Japanese houses and Chinese architecture can be seen everywhere, telling the life of a wealthy farmer in the Ryukyu period.

Phosphorite reservoir

In front of the west port is the site of a phosphorous ore mining business that operated until 1950. The brick building was the place where the ore was dried, the building on the left was the storage building. Phosphorite, which was purified and dried here, was carried by a trolley to the western port and was carried out to the outside of Hokidaitō. Phosphorite mining operations reached their height before the war, and the island's population was over 2000, it said. It has been designated as a National Historic Site.
