The Fujii family was managing the Nichihara copper mine, which was a tenryou (天領, under direct The Fujii family managed the Nichihara copper mine, which was designated as tenryō (天領, territory under the direct control of the Tokugawa shogunate) from the beginning of the Edo period (1603–1868). During the construction of the road, part of the Fujii family estate was lost, but the main building from the Edo period remains.
The entrance, including its formal stepping stones, reflects the status of the family at the time. From the packed-earth floor area (doma), visitors would pass through the tōri-niwa (a traditional corridor-style passage) to reach the kitchen.
The traditional tatami room dates from the early Meiji period (1868–1912) and has a small garden in front.
The Fujii family was also involved in wax production from the Edo period until recent times, and the former production area and warehouse still remain. Together with the remains of a small wharf along the Takatsu River, the estate tells an important story about the history and development of the Nichihara area.
Please note that these properties are primarily private residences.
Visitors are kindly requested not to enter the gardens or buildings without prior permission from the owners.

⑮藤井家住宅
江戸初期からこの地に住み、天領であった日原銅山の経営に「山年寄」として参画した。道路の敷設により敷地は縮小されたが、主屋は江戸期の建築で、役付にふさわしい式台を今に残すとともに、土間から奥に通り庭を通って台所へと至る。座敷は明治初期の建物で、小さいながらも前庭を有す。藤井家では江戸期から続いた製蝋業を営み、今も作業場、土蔵が残されている。高津川からの船着場跡の遺構なども確認され、日原地区の歴史を物語る代表的な建物である。
