Sassoon, Colonial Revival mansion in Kitano-chō, Japan
The Sassoon residence demonstrates Colonial Revival design with symmetrical facades, tall windows, and grand entrance columns in white painted wood construction.
Built in 1892, the Sassoon residence served as a residence for foreign merchants during Kobe's emergence as an international trading port.
The interior spaces combine European architectural elements with Japanese craftsmanship, displaying the fusion of Western and Eastern design principles.
Visitors can explore the mansion's three floors through guided tours, with admission tickets available at the entrance from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
