Rural Mansion This is an only mansion in Hanaizumi I have seen in all my life. I was surprised of this house again. 

I think this is the biggest palatial mansion in this city. I have never seen a mansion like this in our city or our prefecture in my touring. I have known there was a mansion around here from before, but I have forgotten where it was, but I happened to meet it again a few weeks ago on my bike touring. It is a little strange, but this big house is around front of rice fields, and a small mountain is behind the house, too. I mean, it was in the really countryside when I saw it again. So I was surprised of the white house in the place like that, on top of that, it was a Western-style house that was not seen around here. I have known what this house was around here about 20 years ago, but it seems like a new mansion. I wonder if the house was redecorated these days.

So it makes me feel a strange. I seems like a person who goes into the restaurant, "The restaurant which gives many orders" by MIYAZAWA Kenji. When I was going to go to pass through in front of the house, I was on my motorcycle, but I made slowdown it to look at it carefully. Anyway, I could not believe it by my eyes despite meeting it again. It is a huge more than this picture's-looking. Anybody who is passing through before the mansion would be glued to this house by each eyes because all we are persons from the county, and have never seen a house called mansion. There is only a house like a tin roof's small house and a straw-thatched roof a little around there, although my house is a tin roof too. It is like the mansion of Rockefeller for us.
