櫻井家住宅舊址與屯田兵屋 / The Old Sakurai Residence and Tondenhei Residence and Facilities

櫻井家住宅舊址與屯田兵屋（位於美唄是）位在通過市區的主要道路國道12號線旁。所謂的屯田兵是於19世紀後半為了防衛與開拓北海道所派遣的士兵。美唄是北海道唯一有配置屯田兵的砲兵部隊和騎兵隊的地區。當時的房子、牛舍與馬棚、火藥庫等建築被保存了下來。櫻井邸是美唄元町長的住宅。

The Old Sakurai Residence and Tondenhei Residence and Facilities (Bibai City) are along Route 12, which is the main road into Bibai. Tondenhei refers to the soldiers responsible for developing and guarding Hokkaido who were sent to Hokkaido from Honshu Island in the late 19th century. Bibai was the only place where Tondenhei's artillery and cavalry units were placed. One of their typical residences, a barn and an explosives warehouse are preserved in the same place as the Old Sakurai Residence. Ryozou Sakurai and his son used to be mayor in the early 20th century. Sakurai's house is used as a public hall.
