Kanzo Yashiki, Traditional mansion in Enzan, Japan.

The two-story wooden mansion features a copper-tiled roof, tatami-matted rooms, and a central wooden pillar supporting the entire structure.

The Takano family constructed this residence in the early 1800s, gaining wealth through their Chinese licorice trade during the Edo period.

The mansion contains a traditional wood-fired hearth called irori in the main room, reflecting the architectural customs of the Koshu region.

Located opposite JR Enzan Station, the mansion opens its doors to visitors who can explore both floors and the surrounding historical park.

The property maintains Japan's oldest licorice field on its southern grounds, continuing the cultivation tradition from the Edo period.
