What a nice place! The house is really well kept. When you enter you feel transported to the old times. However, the best part for me was the lady working there, which was super nice to us and made everything possible for us to have a good experience. I can’t say enough how much she made our day!

Great typical house of Edo period. You can enter for free until 17.00h. You also have to take out your shoes. House is well conservated and everything is explained inside. It is possible to take incredible photos of how an old Naramachi house looked like!!

The house is well-kept and it's very interesting and fun to explore. I was the only visitor when I came on the weekend and had the house to myself to explore and imagine what living there might have been like. Highly recommend for an authentic experience! (Added bonus is that it is free!)

Free admission to this beautiful grid house. Very glad we stopped by on our way to the train station. They open all the rooms so you get to walk around on tatami and see what each layout looks like. You'll get to experience the sliding doors, staircase with drawers, and see how they were able to conserve the spaces. The attic was nice and their small courtyard was amazing. When we were there, it was raining pretty hard so it felt slightly cold. But I can picture how nice it'll get when it's warmer with the sun. Lots of light sources in the house.
