Kazamidorinoyakata

The brick building, Kazamidori no Yakata was a former residence of a German trader. It was constructed about 100 years ago. In front of the entrance a funny object stands. At the first sight it was outstanding! This building is designated as important cultural assets. The feature is that the building is not symmetry. A triangle shaped red roof with a weathercock on its top, which becomes a landmark in Kitanocho area. Its unique and nostalgic building is represented as one of the most famous foreigners’ residences.
I enjoyed seeing authentic wooden furniture and luxurious ornaments such as a gorgeous long dining table and chairs, large sofas, a mantelpiece, a wooden wall clock, etc… I watched every piece of furniture with sigh and envy (my parents’ house is a typical Japanese-​style house. So I have longed for a Western-​style house since childhood).
On the second floor there is a souvenir shop where postcards or small fashionable items are provided. Admission fee is 500 yen for adult, and it is worth visiting!
