The former Takatori Residence is a luxurious Japanese-style building built as the residence of coal magnate Takatori Iko. The beautiful shoin-style tatami room, exquisite transom carvings, and gorgeous ceiling paintings are highlights of the building. The Noh stage and gold leaf paintings on the fusuma sliding doors are especially worth seeing, and show the prosperity and craftsmanship of the time.
