You can enter the houses and view the contrasting interiors of the two houses: the older, more humble house was where Ito Hirobumi lived before he had become prime minister; while the newer, more prestigious-looking house was moved here from Tokyo, where he later lived in the capital while serving as prime minister. 😬 Opening hours: 9am to 5pm daily Admission fee: 100yen #bucketlistreboot #traveljapan #culturewalk
