Highlights
This ticket gives you admission to the Former Aoyama Villa at Otaru Kihinkan in Shukutsu, Otaru. The villa was built over about six and a half years from 1917 by the Aoyama family, who made a great fortune from herring fishing, and in 2010 it was registered as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. The two-story wooden mansion on a site of about 1,500 tsubo has 18 rooms, each with a different atmosphere, so you can see the lavish Taisho-era architecture and interiors up close. You can also stroll through the garden, which changes with the seasons.
Program
Explore the Former Aoyama Villa,
the retreat of a herring-fishing magnate
The Former Aoyama Villa is the villa of the Aoyama family, who built an enormous fortune from herring fishing during the Meiji and Taisho eras. It was inspired by the third head, Masae, who at age 17 was captivated by the Honma family mansion in Sakata, Yamagata, and it was completed over about six and a half years from 1917. It is said that the family insisted on only the finest things and aimed to create an artistic building.
Admire Taisho-era interiors in 18 rooms
The two-story wooden building stands on a site of about 1,500 tsubo, with 18 rooms of 6 to 15 tatami mats, each decorated with a different atmosphere. Built with no expense spared, it is known as one of Hokkaido's finest art mansions, and in 2010 it was registered as a Tangible Cultural Property of Japan. A visit takes about 20–30 minutes.
Stroll through the seasonal garden
Otaru Kihinkan has a garden that shows a different face each season, which you can enjoy together with the villa. The on-site restaurant serves herring dishes and more, but meals are not included in this product.
