This Heritage Villa is a single-story wooden house, designed in the elegant Sukiya style and dating back to approximately 1935.
The owner, recognizing the historical significance of this structure to Hakodate City and its local community, embarked on a restoration project in 2010. The meticulous restoration effort involved lifting the house from its foundation, carrying out foundational work, and undertaking comprehensive renovations of both the exterior and interior. By 2011, the house had been lovingly restored to its original splendor.
Adorned with serene gray plaster exterior walls, the exterior exudes a tranquil ambiance. Inside, the fixtures and flooring have been meticulously preserved, offering a glimpse into the house’s appearance during the early Showa period when it was first constructed.
Surrounded by expansive grounds that include a storehouse and authentic teahouse, as well as owner’s favorite Pizza’s cottage, the property features a meticulously maintained Japanese-style garden adorned with a diverse array of trees, offering a spectacle of beauty throughout the seasons.
Retaining its authentic exterior and interior, this building serves as a precious testament to the architectural heritage of Japanese-style homes in Hakodate City’s Yachigashira district during the early Showa period.
