Chofu Mori Residence

Historical Monument
This is a residence built in 1903 by Mori Mototoshi, who was the 14th generation head of the Mori family. Some rooms have been left as they were at that time as a result of also being used as lodgings for Emperor Meiji. You can command a view of three types of garden from the stately main wing of this house which is an example of a samurai residence structure: the three types of garden are the “Chisen Kaiyushiki” (strolling pond) garden, the “Shoin” (lit. drawing room) garden and a traditional Japanese dry landscape garden. This place is also well known as a famous spot for viewing of autumn leaves.

  • 静寂な毛利邸

    庭の緑が綺麗です。邸内はいくつも部屋があって、古い鴨居や木の襖など珍しい作りとなってます。お金を払えば抹茶なども頂けます。着物も無料で来て写真撮影も出来ます。この暑い季節に無料のお茶が暑いのは勘弁。
  • 長府藩の藩主が住んでいた住居です

    お城ではなく、大きなお屋敷といった住居です。坂の途中にあるので、石垣があって近代の作りだと感じられます。お庭はこじんまりしていますが、きちんと手入れは行き届いています。特別な見所はありませんが、小藩のお殿様の住まいを見るには良い場所です。有料のお茶のサービスはありますが、食事処ではありません。
  • 城下町

    長府という城下町の一角で静かな空間です。明治天皇も宿泊され、格式ある屋敷で、街の散策には欠かせません。近くには明治天皇に殉死した乃木将軍の神社もあり、因縁を感じます
