Yamazaki House, Historic residence in Kawagoe, Japan.
The Yamazaki House features traditional Japanese architectural elements including tatami rooms, sliding doors, and a meticulously designed garden created by Katsuya Yasuoka.
Built in 1925 as a retreat for Kashichi Yamazaki, the fifth generation owner of Kameya confectionery store, this residence represents early 20th-century Japanese residential architecture.
The property combines Japanese and Western architectural styles while maintaining traditional elements like the tea ceremony room and waiting room benches.
