This paper focuses on the reconstruction process of the residence of the Aoyama Family who managed a herring fishery. The earlier fishing house burnt down in 1919, while the second residence was under construction. The fishing house was reconstructed adopting a similar floor plan to the previous structure but limited for business use, as the second residence was being erected for residential purposes. Carpenters were brought from the family's hometown to recreate a characteristic guestroom of the Shounai region. It was built by Masakichi Aoyama who remained at the Hokkaido fishery through his life.
