The Nogata Tani Museum of Art Storage, formerly the Shinohara Residence, is a notable Taisho-era (early 20th century) merchant house located in Nogata City, Fukuoka. While the interior is not open to the public, the exterior's impressive architecture offers a glimpse into the town's past. Originally built as a ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) and later used as a rice shop, this sturdy building stands as a testament to the area's history. Situated near the Nogata Tani Museum of Art, it's recommended to view this historical building in conjunction with a visit to the museum. Best viewed during the afternoon to appreciate the architectural details.
