The main building was constructed in 1902, and it operated as a traditional Japanese restaurant (Ryotei) called 'Aburaya'.
Shinzaburo Matsunobu purchased the townhouse, which had been a restaurant. He named it 'Umeya' and began a pharmacy business, dealing in medicines and explosives such as dynamite.
In 1935, Umeya was expanded, and a detached building (Hanare) was constructed.
