Japanese style house

Marquis Maeda Old House is preserved in Komaba Park. Western style house is designed like a British country house and has been designated as an important national cultural property along with Japanese style house since 2013. Inside of these houses you can imagine the life of Japanese aristocrats in the first half of the 20th century.

Komaba park is located in a quiet residential area, eight minutes from west exit of Komaba todaimae station of Keio Inokashira Line. Beautiful cherry blossoms can be seen on the front yard in March and April, and brilliant autumn leaves can be viewed on the back yard in November and December.

Maeda feudal clan was one of the biggest that was governed by Tokugawa shogun in Edo era. Marquis Maeda, grandson of the last feudal clan lord came to Komaba from Bunkyo City of Tokyo. Built in 1927 and 1930, the houses were used for treating foreign and domestic guests and also used by Maeda family. Both Western and Japanese style gorgeous houses are opened to public free of charge now.
