Tōkasai-kan, Chinese restaurant in Kawaramachi, Japan
The restaurant building features Spanish Baroque design elements with ornate details on its facade, complemented by traditional wooden window frames and stone accents.
Founded in 1926, the building was crafted by architect Merrell Vories Hitotsuyanagi during a period of increasing cultural exchange between Japan and China.
The restaurant earned recognition as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan, marking its importance in preserving architectural and culinary heritage.
