Old Tsujimoto House

The Old Tsujimoto House is a traditional residence in Osaka built during the Edo period to showcase typical features of Japanese domestic architecture. The structure includes wooden beams, sliding door systems, and an interior garden arranged according to its original design.

The residence was built during the Edo period as a home and workplace for a merchant family, reflecting the housing practices of that era. It was later preserved and opened to the public to document the architectural style and daily life of the period.

The layout reveals how merchant families organized their work and home life under one roof, with separate areas for business and family activities. The arrangement of rooms shows practical solutions for daily tasks that people still recognize today.

The house is located within walking distance from a train station and can be visited by checking opening hours beforehand. Comfortable shoes are recommended since you will enter traditional rooms with tatami mats and will need to remove your footwear at certain points.

The house preserves the original water management system that shows how residents collected and distributed water without modern infrastructure. This detail illustrates the everyday challenges families had to solve during that period.
