What people say
Khye Fiona
"Stepping into this district feels a bit like you've travelled back in time. Here is home to a collection of 'Ijinkan', or foreign residences, left over from when the city first opened to the world. These well-preserved, Western-influenced houses offer a unique look into the past. More than a dozens of them are now museums accessible to the public, usually at a small charge of about ¥500. Others transformed into quirky cafes and boutiques. We highly recommend that you allow yourself to just wander and see what you might find "
Julie Byles
"This area includes a series of houses built in the early 1900s for international diplomats. They are fascinating self contained museums. Some, such as the American house, are displayed as they may have been used at that time. Other represent cultural icons of the respective country. Bills house is a display of quirky dark and hilarious curiosities. I had a meal at the French house and it was bliss."
