碍颈迟补苍辞-肠丑艒

碍艒产别

LoginSave

For generations of Japanese tourists, this pleasant, hilly neighbourhood is 碍艒产别, thanks to the dozen or so well-preserved homes of (mostly) Western trading families and diplomats who settled here during the Meiji period. These ijinkan (literally 'foreigners' houses') 鈥 strangely, though naturally, incongruent, as each is built in the architectural style of the owner's home country 鈥 are now mostly cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops.

Two of the best-preserved homes, the red-brick Weathercock House, built in 1909 for a German trader, and the wooden, jade-green Moegi House, built in 1903 for the former US consul, are open as museums (9am to 6pm; combined ticket 楼650). Much of the original furnishings are intact 鈥 you'll see the lengths that expats a century ago went to in order to maintain their native lifestyles.
