Ōkuma Shigenobu's house in the city of Saga still exists, and is part of the Okuma Shigenobu Memorial Museum complex. This building was purchased by Ōkuma Kumanosuke in 1838, and was the residence of Ōkuma Shigenobu from his birth until he departed Saga for Tokyo in 1868. The structure consists of a single-story tatch-roof portion and a two-story tile-roof portion. It is said that the second floor was added by Shigenobu's mother to provide her son with a study. Although the house is in good preservation, there are signs of remodeling at the entrance, and the kitchen has been removed and an administration room added at a later date. It was designated a [[Monuments of Japan|National Historic Site]] in 1965.<ref name="Bunka1">{{cite web |url=https://bunka.nii.ac.jp/heritages/detail/173315|title=大隈重信旧宅|language=ja |publisher=Agency for Cultural Affairs |accessdate=December 20, 2023}}</ref>
