Jinpūkaku

The French Renaissance style residence features two floors with white painted walls, arched windows, and decorative stone elements throughout its structure.

Commissioned by Nakahiro Ikeda in 1906, the mansion served as a reception venue for Crown Prince Yoshihito during his visit to the San'in Region in 1907.

As one of Japan's Important Cultural Properties, the building exhibits household items from the Ikeda family and represents the Meiji period modernization.

Located ten minutes by taxi from JR Tottori Station, the mansion opens daily except Mondays with an entrance fee of 150 yen for adults.

The mansion became the first electrified residence in Tottori and later gained recognition as a filming location for the 2012 Rurouni Kenshin movie.
