Chofu Mouri Residence (長府毛利邸)

Flow of the course

About this spot

Built in 1903 as the Chofu Mouri family residence, this is a formal Japanese-style architectural masterpiece. Even after the abolition of the feudal domain system, the Mouri family continued to reside here, and the expansive tatami rooms, decorative window screens, and well-maintained gardens vividly preserve the lifestyle of the former domain lord family. A quiet landmark where visitors can sense how the castle town of Chofu embraced the modern era.

Tips

Best time to visit

Approximately 40 minutes. The quiet afternoon hours allow for a leisurely visit.
