Watch slideshow

A former residence of Denemon Ito, a coalmine king of Chikuho area, and Byakuren Yanagihara, a queen of Chikugo area.
Even now, the Former Residence of Ito Denemon with an amazing 1,500 square meter garden retains the gorgeousness it had when poet Byakuren Yanagihara lived there during her 10 year marriage to Ito Denemon. By Byakuren’s requests, a Western-style reception room in the art nouveau style, a dining room and study room, and even a flushable toilet were built in the residence for the first time in Kyushu. Because of its architectural value, the residence is a precious cultural heritage of the Taisho, Meiji, and Showa eras.
In the residence tour, you can feel the prosperous of the mining industry at the time.
