  • Historic Sites

The Former Takatori Residence is a house of a person called Koreyoshi Takatori who became rich as a mine owner.

Two big buildings are constructed on the very large site along the southwest shore of Karatsu-jo Castle.

With the Noh Stage in the grand hall, the buildings were constructed uniquely upon Japanese-style

with the western style into it.

Visitors are surprised at the gorgeous internal design of the exerted pictures on the Sliding Doors,

sculptures and extravagance.

It is a perfect opportunity to know the house of the Japanese super-wealth in Meiji period.
