The Shogetsu Literary House, formerly the Kaigetsuro, a three-story building built in 1896, once served as a high-end restaurant. It is located a 5-minute walk from Nishitetsu Yanagawa Station. It now displays calligraphy, letters, and photographs of literary figures like Hakushu Kitahara who visited Shogetsu, offering a glimpse into the past. Admission is free, making it an ideal stop while waiting for a Yanagawa river cruise. The building itself retains its original Meiji-era charm, providing an enriching experience for literature and history enthusiasts.
