A Day Exploring the Maeda Family Residence 🕰️🌿

#cityplaybook Tucked away in the quiet residential neighborhood of Komaba, Tokyo, the Former Maeda Residence (旧前田家本邸) is a beautifully preserved estate that offers a rare glimpse into the lives of Japanese nobility during the early 20th century. Once the home of the powerful Maeda clan, the site features both a stately Western-style mansion and a serene Japanese-style residence. 🏰 Western-style Mansion Step inside this elegant building designed with European influences. From chandeliers to a grand staircase, it’s like walking into a time capsule of aristocratic charm. 🌸 Japanese-style Residence A calm contrast to the Western hall, this section of the estate showcases traditional Japanese architecture, tatami rooms, and manicured gardens. A peaceful retreat right in the city. Why I recommend this spot: ・You can enjoy both Western and Japanese historical architecture in one place ・The surrounding area is calm and less touristy—perfect for a quiet afternoon stroll 📍Komaba, Meguro City, Tokyo #tokyohiddengems #maedaresidence #historicaltokyo #architecturalbeauty #culturalheritage #cityplaybook #japantravel
