Former Residence of Yoshida Shigeru. This is the home of Shigeru Yoshida (1878-1967), who served as prime minister following the war. The property was originally purchased in 1884 by his adoptive father, Kenzo Yoshida, who constructed the villa. After his father"s passing, Shigeru took ownership and made it his primary residence starting in 1945, where he lived for the remainder of the year. This facility has been restored to reflect the residence of Shigeru Yoshida.
