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.
