    Gifu Pref. Takayamashi Shinmeimachi 4-15
    Built in 1895, this historic building was used as the town and city hall until 1968. It’s at the southern end of the Preservation Districts for Groups of Traditional Building in Sanmachi, Takayama City. You can look out from Ichinomachi to Sannomachi, and the Nakabashi Bridge that spans the Miyagawa River is right before your eyes. The entire building is made of hinoki cypress, and various parts have sliding glass pane doors, which were rare when it was built. This building was state-of-the-art in those days and still maintains its former features. Now it’s a museum that preserves and displays Takayama City’s administrative materials, information about Takayama City history through panel displays and realia from the period.

    Well preserved buildings but it was very crowded when we visited and guides were talking over each other. Bit difficult to see the history, but worth a visit.

His Oiso Town, Kanagawa Prefecture study where he spent his final days has been restored, and through the displays one can learn about the author’s whole life.

    As my major was literature, I am interested in Toson’s novels. This is one of the reasons why I visited Magome. If you don’t know him, you had better to read his works first. Then, your visit will be...
