Located in the Tottori Castle ruins within Kyusho Park, Jinpu-kaku is a stunning Meiji-era Western-style building designated as an Important Cultural Property of Japan. Built as a villa for the Ikeda family, former lords of the Tottori Domain, it was completed in 1907 to coincide with a visit by Crown Prince Yoshihito (later Emperor Taisho). Designed by Dr. Tokuma Katayama, who also worked on the Akasaka Palace, Jinpu-kaku features a beautiful white exterior and an impressive interior, including a unique spiral staircase. Visitors can explore the building's history and architecture, as well as enjoy the adjacent Horai-en Garden. Easily accessible by bus from Tottori Station, Jinpu-kaku is open from 9:00 to 17:00 (closed Mondays and New Year's holidays). Entry is free for children and ¥150 for adults.
