Set in the preserved Yokaichi Old Town district, the Kamihaga Residence is the expansive former home and workshop of one of the region's most prominent wax-merchant families. Visitors can wander through beautifully preserved Meiji-period living quarters, tranquil courtyards, and traditional storage warehouses. The on-site museum offers a fascinating look into the intricate Japanese wax production that once brought great prosperity to the town. It stands as an exquisite example of Edo-to-Meiji transition architecture and craftsmanship.
