Abstract
In this paper, based on drawings, we examined the spatial transformation of Hagi Clan's principle estate in the city of Edo by focusing on entrance spaces. Basically the spatial composition of the estate was transformed drastically just in the Meireki era and did not change until the end of the Edo period despite several reconstructions. But the transformation of entrance spaces both in the omote-goten and the ura-goten appeared more frequently. It is significant that although originally the ura-goten had started as feminine and dependent space, it developed into an independent space equipped with its own entrance and reception space.
