Well-preserved merchant house in Takayama's old town — photogenic wooden façade, lattice windows, engawa porch and intimate courtyard garden. Shoot architectural details (joinery, sliding doors, carved transoms) and interior atmospheres. Best light: soft morning or late-afternoon side light on the façade; interiors benefit from overcast days or low-light technique. Small admission and guided tours; no large tripods often allowed. Limited parking—arrive by foot from Takayama station or combine it
