The paper wholesaler Suzuki's main housewas built the year after the great fire.

The former Suzuki residence stands near the middle of Asuke's historic townscape, with 16 buildings on a site of about 4,000 sq m. The Suzuki family were paper wholesalers in the early modern period, and the main house was built in 1776, the year after the great fire of 1775. Reception rooms and storehouses were added in turn, and the present buildings were complete by the Meiji era.

02 ／ Log pond

The underwater log pond on the Yahagi Riverhas six jetties.

The former Imai log storage facility is a water-based timber yard built in the middle reaches of the Yahagi River; its log pond is the part designated as an Important Cultural Property. Built in 1918, it kept logs in water rather than landing them. Stone retaining walls and earthen banks surround the rectangular pond, and six jetties inside sorted the timber by type.

Ayado's night nenbutsu and Bon dance are held on the nights of 10 and 15 August, centered on the grounds of Heisho-ji Temple.

The Bon dance that follows is sung without instruments, and clogs on the sandy ground make the accompaniment.
