What other travelers are saying about Former Takano Family Residence Kanzo Yashiki
Autumn trip along the Fruits Line, a visit to this historical building is a must! By train, one minute from the Enzan station. ¥310 p/p entrance fee. A small children’s library is also part of this well preserved landmark.
Large, beautiful old Edo Era house surrounded by other smaller old buildings conveniently located opposite Enzan JR Station. For a small fee you can enter the house and look around, including the loft upstairs which is full of fascinating old objects. If you visit around Hinamatsuri (March 3rd) there is a wonderful display of traditional dolls, and in autumn there are colorful strings of orange persimmons drying everywhere.
You can also hire bicycles here to explore the area more thoroughly.
I've visited here 3 times, and I love this place!
Very beautiful historical buildings. Part of building is public library. Respect locals and follow rules when you take a look and walk around. Parking is available. Some season, they have festivals, it's cool.
