This place is pretty huge on the inside and definitely very interesting to see. The staff working there are very accommodating and friendly. They really tried to speak English with us. Try to visit in early morning as there are pop-up shops in front of it. I was able to buy 12apples for only 300yen from a sweet grandma. I was able to take this home with me and gave as omiyage to my friends in Tokyo. I loved that I was able to help small businesses like hers.

This was not originally on my list of places to visit, but the staff were very warm and welcoming. Not only an important site for Takayama history, but Japan as well. QR codes provide easy access to information in multiple languages throughout the house/estate. Staff members are very knowledgeable. Outside in the morning is one of the main morning markets. I do not recommend bringing younger children to this location, as it is important to stay within boundaries and not to touch certain things. It is very much a museum atmosphere.
We enjoyed touring the well-preserved historic home, especially the latter part of the tour which included informative artifacts and displays. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The buildings have no climate control, with most doors open to the garden views. It was quite cold inside. In addition, visitors must remove their shoes before entering the home. However, we were given plastic bags in which to place our shoes and had to carry the bags for the whole tour. It would be nice to see shelves or lockers installed in the future for shoe storage. Fortunately, they had different sized sandals for visitors to use, including large for our American feet. Overall a nice experience made better by the staff.
When you visit this acting administrator office in Edo era, you can feel this city was very rich and flourishing. Anymore you can see very old traditional Japanese bathroom!
Good place to learn Japanese culture.
