Café at the former Morikawa residenceCafé at the former Morikawa residence

The old Morikawa family residence was built as the home of Mr. Hachiro Morikawa, who was once the mayor of Takehara and a salt field manager. The site was established on the grounds of a former salt field, and it consists of a substantial and tasteful space created by relocating buildings from the late Edo period to the Meiji era. The main house was relocated from a wealthy residence in Fukuyama, and the large tatami room, which features five chambers, still retains its appearance from that time.

Additionally, a tea room designed by the literary and tea master 'Fuji-an,' who was active in Takehara, remains preserved, and alongside 'Shunpukan' in the town preservation area, one can feel the aesthetic sensibility of the place. This residence, which retains a strong atmosphere from the Taisho period, still has auxiliary buildings such as bathrooms and toilets intact from that time, making it a very valuable cultural property.

Please enjoy a quiet moment in a space filled with attention to detail, such as the entrance, front gate, and transom, where you can touch upon the history and aesthetic sensibility of Takehara.
