The Residence of Korekiyo Takahashi
View Larger Map
It's not the house of a samurai but the house of a japanese politician Korekiyo Takahashi. It was built in 1902 and located in Tokyo, near Akasaka 7-chome. Next to this residence, the city office of Akasaka-ku was build (1928). It's also the place he died in 1936 during the 26 february coup d'etat.
Finally, when Akasaka-ku merged with other districts to become Minato-ku, the Korekiyo Takashi memorial park was build.
