Yamate 8-Bankan, Tudor-style house museum in Kitano-chō, Japan.
The building exhibits three rows of trapezoidal bay windows facing the sea and features stone-piled arches at the entrance.
During the late Meiji period, foreign architects A.N. Hansell and D.G. Lalande designed this mansion as part of Kobe's growing international district.
The museum displays global art pieces, including sculptures by Rodin, Renoir's bronze works, Thai Buddhist statues, and East African Makonde carvings.
Located at 2-20-7 Kitanocho, Chuo-ku, the museum opens daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM, with extended hours until 6:00 PM from April through September.
Saturn's Chair, positioned inside the mansion, carries a local belief that different seating positions on it influence the nature of granted wishes.
