There are few historical materials in the building, so you can see that you lived in such a house. The stairs to the 2nd floor are narrow and steep, so be careful and go up.

This building was built in Meiji ２７ as the villa of the Minister of Japan in the kingdom of Hawaii. The kingdom of Hawaii was annexed to the United States in the Meiji ３１ and disappeared, but at that time, Alu ..., who was the Minister of Japan.
