Traveler reviews
Tat Sing Tey
★★★★★3 months agoA cluster of authentic Japanese vernacular houses restored and repurposed as a literature base The well-curated contents and exhibitions material is articulated with strong narration of the local history. The preserved half round bunker and tree house is so much fun to look at, can imagine how the kids from the past enjoyed their time here. This project is much better and with purer intend compared to those Japanese houses that have been turned into cafés or commercially driven spots.

★★★★★a year agoStumbled upon by accident 😆 Free tours on Saturday 2pm-3pm Got to learn about the Japanese homes architecture and the preservation work they did to conserve these houses. Great explanation by guide 👍🏻 There's a very popular cafe which sells Matcha ice cream, worth to try 😋
