Information | History | View | Sightseeing | Video
Kyu Asakura House, located near Daikanyama Station, Shibuya, is one of a handful of traditional Japanese-style houses in central Tokyo. It was built in 1919 by Torajiro Asakura, the chairperson of the Tokyo Council. The quaint house is designated as a nationally important cultural property and is now managed by Shibuya Ward. You can visit and see a part of its buildings and its stunning garden. It is the right place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. - Shot in 1080p full HD with an iPhone 4S on Jul. 31st, 2012

Too bad. Times are changing. But we should at least make efforts to pass down traditions. :)

Ok.Same here in germany with traditional Fachwerkhaus. ^ ^

Nowadays it's very difficult to built a traditional house like this. The materials are pretty expensive and there are not many carpenters who can built one. So it would be super expensive. Even if you could buy an old house in good condition, it would cost a lot when you buy it and to maintain continuously.
-
Are these traditional houses super expensive compared to modern ones?
-
I also would love to have one someday. :)

Wonderful. Hopefully I can come over to Japan soon. Would love to have a home over there inspired by traditional housing. Something about them just get to me.
