Former Konishi Family Residence
Former Konishi Family Residence, House museum in Doshomachi, Osaka, Japan
The Former Konishi Family Residence is a house museum in Osaka featuring multiple rooms arranged in traditional Japanese style. The structure combines residential and commercial spaces, demonstrating how affluent merchant families lived and conducted business in the early 20th century.
The residence was built in 1903 as both a family mansion and business headquarters, marking the economic growth of the Doshomachi district. The architecture reflects a period when Osaka rose as a commercial hub and affluent merchants used their homes as symbols of success.
The rooms display furniture and objects from daily life of merchant families of that era. You can see how spaces shifted between private living areas and business zones, revealing how the household supported commercial activities.
Visitors should make reservations in advance since capacity is limited. The building sits near Kitahama Station and is easily accessible by public transportation in central Osaka.
The floor plan reveals a rare example of a fully integrated fusion of business and residential space that survives in such clear form. This connection provides insight into how merchants structured their daily lives between family and commerce.
