Home of a Diplomat, Diplomatic residence in Yamatechō, Japan
The Home of a Diplomat features American Victorian architecture with clapboard walls, natural slate roofs, and decorative elements throughout its two-story structure.
Built in 1910 by architect James McDonald Gardiner, this residence served as accommodation for Meiji government diplomat Sadatsuchi Uchida in Nanpeidai before relocation to Yokohama.
The interior demonstrates the fusion of American and Japanese design preferences during the Meiji period through its reception rooms and living quarters.
Located five minutes from Ishikawacho Station, the property welcomes visitors daily from 9:30 AM to 5:00 PM with free admission to explore its rooms.
The building maintains its original Nouveau decorations and includes exhibition spaces that display documents chronicling the life of its diplomatic residents.
