Yoshishima family residence

Traditional house. It is a two storey house. To go up, there is a quite a sloppy narrow stairs from one side and the other from another side. Cost 1000yen. Abit steep for the price. If it is slightly cheaper maybe can attract more tourists to come. But there is always pros and cons. Overall, the feeling of the house is good. Feels calm and peaceful in the house.

Part of the walking street. This side is much more quiet as there are no stores. Good for photo taking in this stretch with the traditional houses as no tourists are walking in this side of the street.

Stunning example of an olden days Takayama house. You can meander through its rooms and 2 levels and see how the Japanese used to live.

Traditional Japanese house built in the early 20th century. The family was a sake brewer so the house was used for both business and family. This house shows good example of tradition carpentry and the roof structure at the entrance is highly praised for a perfect feminine blend between the "hard" straight lines of the structure with the "warm" sunlight sheds from the big window above. This is a really "open" exhibit where visitors can sit, touch and feel almost any part of the house. Most of the daily use objects and decorative items are being moved and exhibit in the folk museum. Tips: the restaurant Kyoya in the next street serves superb meals including prime Hide beef and live river fish. It makes a good combo to visit both together. 😁👍

I almost didn't go in as there's no signage in front to show it's even opened but after I plucked up enough courage to slide the four open I saw there was a very, nice lady on the other side who took my 500Yen and gave me a guide. Take your shoes off, Tatami rugs everywhere + it's a home, and you can freely walk around this beautiful home. You'll see all in less than an hour so it's the perfect place to see if it's raining outside and it is quieter too. Worth a visit.
