Bansuisou

I didn't know there was the first French Western building in Matsuyama in advance, so I stopped when I went to the " Sakanoue no Kumo" museum. You can visit the first floor for free. There is an audience room and a dinner. I think it is best to learn about history through the voice guide.

It's a place I accidentally stopped by while walking in the morning, but it's an old Western-style building, with a pretty garden and a small coffee shop.

I didn't know there was a gorgeous villa like Bansuiso in the middle of the city. 😗 At the cafe called Aesongjeong (Aishotei) right next door, you can enjoy coffee while enjoying the works of Soseki Natsume. There was!

The stairs are decorated with teak wood and are very luxurious. The fireplace was a gas stove, which was unusual at that time. There is also a self-portrait of the Showa Emperor's childhood and a crystal chandelier!

Western-style buildings are permeating. The exterior is cute and you can see the inside. So if you have time, please come and see it.
