【Nagoya】Be captivated by stained glass at Japan's first actress's residence.

Aichi, Nagoya
Cultural Path Futaba Museum

Located in Nagoya's Cultural Path area, the "Futaba Museum (Former Kawakami Sadayakko Residence)" is the historic home of Japan's first actress, Sadayakko Kawakami, and the "Electric Power King," Momosuke Fukuzawa. Built during the Taisho era, this fusion of Japanese and Western architectural styles served as a glamorous social hub for politicians, business leaders, and cultural figures. Inside, you can experience the Taisho modern atmosphere through features like stained glass, a spiral staircase, and a circular sofa. It is a valuable spot to immerse yourself in Nagoya's cultural history.

Nearby, you can also visit the residence of Sasuke Toyoda, the brother of Sakichi Toyoda, who laid the foundation for the Toyota Group. Be sure to explore both locations. (pic 5.6)
