Address

Gangōji-chō, Nara

A restored merchant townhouse in the Naramachi lanes. The front is narrow and the interior runs deep, the classic eel-bed layout. You walk past the lattice windows, through the courtyard and kitchen to the inner rooms and see how a family lived. Entry is free and it takes only a short visit.
