The first head of new Miyoshi Village built itand lived here in his later years.

The Ishikawa House was built in 1910 by the first village head of new Miyoshi Village, formed by merging the three villages of Miyoshi, Azabu and Akekoshi. Its gatehouse (nagayamon), main house and west storehouse keep much of their original atmosphere, and the house became a city-designated tangible cultural property (building) in 2011.

02 ／ Kurozasa Kiln No. 90

A large bowl inscribed Naijusho was found,thought to be a central-government order.

Kurozasa Kiln No. 90 is a type site of the Sanage kiln group, dated to the second half of the 9th century. About 200,000 pieces of pottery were excavated from inside the kiln and from the 160 m² ash dump spreading in front of it. Naijusho was an office of the Heian capital, and the city says the kiln is highly likely to have been an official kiln of the provincial government.

Izuhara Makoku (1778–1860) was an Edo-period Nanga painter from Azabu-cho in present-day Miyoshi.

The city writes that he remained active as one of Nagoya's leading painters until he died at 83.
