Rokkō Cottage, Historic house in Rokkōsanchō, Japan

The Rokkō Cottage features a single-story wooden construction with sliding windows, slate roofing, and board-and-batten exterior siding covering 263 square meters.

Built in 1934 as a summer residence for Professor Keiichi Kodera of Kwansei Gakuin University, the cottage was designed by architect Merrell Vories Hitotsuyanagi.

The main living room contains natural wood beams and a stone fireplace, showcasing traditional Japanese mountain villa architecture from the early Showa period.

The cottage opens from April to November, with bus connections available from Hankyu Rokko Station, JR Rokkomichi Station, and Hanshin Mikage Station.

The interior layout centers around a hallway connecting multiple rooms, including a 20-tatami living room with a terrace offering mountain views.
