Description

Takatori Koreyoshi (1850-1927), a coal baron, had this luxurious seaside residence built with an incredible sense of detail. Wonderfully restored, it illustrates the lifestyle of the upper middle classes during the Meiji Period. The residence is divided into two parts, one for the family and the other for guests, and includes a Zen garden, tearoom, nô theatre. On the first floor, the view of the garden that blends so perfectly with the beach and the islands of Karatsu bay in the background is quite stunning
