Fujioka Family Residence

Overview

The Fujioka Family Residence, located in Gojo, Nara Prefecture, is a preserved merchant house designated as an Important Cultural Property. This 18th-century building showcases the architectural features of a traditional merchant house, including functional elements like the "tsukiage-do" (lift-up door) and "battari shogi" (fold-down benches). While interior access may be limited, the exterior provides a glimpse into the past and the ingenuity of its design. The residence is located a bit outside Gojo, slightly up the mountain, and was once at a bustling crossroads. It's a worthwhile stop for those interested in historical architecture.
