Chōkyū-tei, Traditional house in Kainan, Japan

The Chōkyū-tei residence incorporates traditional Japanese architectural elements with a specific focus on natural materials and minimalist interior design principles.

Established in 1958, the house stands as a testament to post-war Japanese residential construction methods and architectural developments of the mid-twentieth century.

The interior spaces of Chōkyū-tei follow traditional room arrangements, including dedicated areas for receiving guests and conducting formal ceremonies according to Japanese customs.

The house opens for guided tours from Tuesday through Sunday, with advance reservations required for groups larger than five people.

The residence maintains original tatami flooring and sliding paper doors, while featuring specific architectural adaptations to the local climate of Wakayama Prefecture.
