Kyu Asakura House: Step into Old Tokyo

#tokyostroll Tucked away in the trendy streets of Daikanyama, Kyu Asakura House is a hidden gem that takes you back to Taisho-era Tokyo (1912-1926). I was amazed at how beautifully preserved this historical residence is! From the moment you step inside, you’re surrounded by the elegance of traditional Japanese architecture—sliding shoji doors, tatami floors, and intricate wooden details that feel like a portal to the past. But the true highlight? The stunning Japanese garden. Even in the peak of summer, it was lush, peaceful, and perfectly maintained. Walking along the garden paths, with sunlight filtering through the leaves, I felt completely transported away from the city’s hustle and bustle. 📍 How to get there: A short walk from Daikanyama Station (Tokyu Toyoko Line) or about 10 minutes from Shibuya. 🎟 Admission: Only 100 yen—a steal for such a rich experience! 🕰 Best time to visit: Any season. If you love hidden gems and historical sites, add Kyu Asakura House to your Tokyo itinerary! Have you explored any traditional houses in Japan?
