Former Nagayama Takeshirō Residence

The Former Nagayama Takeshiro Residence combines Japanese and Western architectural elements with wooden frames and traditional sliding doors throughout its two-story structure.

Built in 1870 by the Hokkaido Development Commission, this residence belonged to Nagayama Takeshiro, who established the Tondenhei military settler system in Hokkaido.

The residence displays the architectural transition of the Meiji period through its fusion of Japanese interior spaces and Western-style furniture arrangements.

The first floor houses the Nagayama Rest café, serving Western-inspired dishes from 11:00 AM, while the second floor contains exhibition spaces about local history.

The residence contains original structural elements from 1870, including specific wooden beams and floor patterns that exemplify early Meiji period construction techniques.
