Western-style reception room

The reception room of the Western-style house is located immediately after entering the entrance. As the residence of Sasuke Toyoda, who was active as a businessman, the room is lavishly furnished to welcome guests. The key feature of the room is the lighting, which is reminiscent of lotus buds. The hanging base is also finely decorated.

In the drawing room, be sure to look up at the ceiling.

The highlight of this room is the "design of the ventilation opening" on the ceiling. The motif is a congratulatory crane and turtle, and the three characters "to", "yo" and "da" are used.

Japanese style room on the 1st floor

There are four Japanese-style rooms on the first floor, and they are large enough to hold a wedding ceremony if the fusuma (sliding doors) are open. It is said that business meetings with guests were held here. The luxurious golden fusuma have been preserved as they were in those days.
