Niigata Joetsu-shi Omachi 2-3-30

This wooden residence was built in 1910 by Nagaoka Gaishi, Lieutenant General of the Takada 13th Division of the former Imperial Japanese Army. It is one of the few remaining examples in the city of architecture blending Japanese and Western influences dating to this time. Until 1991, it was used to house the leadership of JGSDF Camp Takada, but was moved to its current location and restored by the city in order to preserve this precious work of Meiji period architecture.

駅から高田城に向かう途中、寄ってみました。素敵な洋館、よく手入れされていて、和、洋、それぞれ静かに美しい部屋が配置されてとても好きになりました。今回時間がなかったので諦めましたが、お食事や喫茶など次回是非利用したいと思います。
