Nagasaki Shiminami Yamate Chiku Machinamihozonsenta - Nagasaki City Minamiyamate District Townscape Preservation Center
This Western-style building was built in the middle of the Meiji period by the Englishman Wilson Walker, and has been relocated and restored.
The Nagasaki City Minamiyamate Townscape Preservation Center is a high-quality house built in the mid-Meiji period by the British architect Wilson Walker.
It is a Western-style building that has been designated as a traditional building, and each design is very attractive.
The establishment of the center reflects the desire to protect the historical environment of the Traditional Structures Preservation District and to deepen citizens' awareness and understanding of the townscape.
On the first floor, there is an exhibition of materials related to the townscape, such as a model of the Nagasaki Settlement (500/1 scale) that recreates Minami-Yamate from the mid-Meiji era, and old photographs from the Settlement period. In addition, we have a permanent exhibition of works by Ken Tagawa, a printmaker born in Nagasaki, so you can take your time to view them in a wonderful Western-style building.
In addition to displaying panels, the second floor is open to the public as a training room, conference room, and gallery to make the building feel more familiar than a Western-style building. (*There is a charge for this)
