Enkikan, Historic house in Ichibanboridōri-chō, Japan.

Enkikan is a wooden building in Hakusan Park, Ichibanboridōri-chō, Niigata. It is the relocated reception wing of the Saitō Kijūrō merchant family's residence, built in 1908, and was reopened in autumn 1997 with a tea room added. The structure is a Registered Tangible Cultural Property of Japan.

The house was completed in 1908 when Japan was incorporating international architectural styles into residential design. This period marked a shift as traditional Japanese and Western influences merged in domestic architecture.

The interior follows Japanese residential customs with distinct areas for receiving guests and daily family life. The room arrangement shows how a prosperous household organized its daily routines.

You can reach the house using public transportation to Niigata city, with regular buses stopping near Hakusan Park. Wear comfortable shoes and allow time to explore the different rooms at a leisurely pace.

The building is only the guest-reception portion of the Saito Kijuro merchant family's residence, built in 1908 and moved here from Higashibori-dori 7-bancho; the city received it as a donation and added a new tea room before reopening it in autumn 1997. It won the Handmade Hometown Award in 1998.
