This is the main building of the house of Korekiyo Takahashi, who played an important role in Japanese politics from the Meiji period to the beginning of the Showa period. It is made entirely of hemlock fir, and the dining room has parquet flooring. The second floor was used as Takahashi’s study and bedroom, and it was the site of the Feb. 26 coup.
