Main building – The Japanese-style rooms still retain the air of the Edo Period, with attention paid even to minor details.Annex – The walls of the combined bedroom / study are plaster walls in a subdued blue shade.This summer home was built by Murakawa Kengo and safeguarded by Kentaro, two generations of scholars of ancient history in the West who were father and son. It consists of the main building, which was a reconstruction of the detached house of (the Abiko Honjin,) alodging house for high-ranking people, as well as an annex that was constructed in 1927 by Kengo, who emphasized a residence that was more about “shelter, food, and clothing,” rather than “clothing, food, and shelter.” Once here, visitors can experience the atmosphere it had from back when it was used as a summer home. The back gate faces out on to Hake Road. It is said that you could view the birds frolicking in the lake from indoors up until the 1950s. Sometimes there are local guides here that can fill visitors in on the details. Former Murakawa VillaAn area for summer homes from the Taisho to Showa Periods grew up on the banks of Lake Teganuma. We encourage visitors to not just look around, but spend a relaxing time indoors.2-27-9 Kotobuki, Abiko City Inquiries: Culture and Sports Section, Board of Education, Abiko City ☎04-7185-1583Hours of operation: 9:00 – 16:00(entry until 15:30)Closed: Mondays (or the next weekday if this is a national holiday), December 29 – January 3 Entry fee: FreeBy foot 20 minutes from Abiko Station (1.6 km)(cultural property designated by the city)
