Just a five-minute walk from JR Ishikawacho Station on the Keihin-Tohoku Line, an old Victorian-style building known as the Diplomat's House stands on a bluff overlooking Yokohama.
The house's owner was Sadatsuchi Uchida (1865-1942), a prominent diplomat during the Meiji and Taisho eras.
The house was originally built in Nanpeidai in Tokyo's Shibuya district in 1910. It was moved to its present location in 1995 after Uchida's granddaughter, Hisako Miyairi, donated it to the city of Yokohama because she wanted to preserve it. The two-story wooden home now stands in the compound of Yamate Itariayama Teien (Yamate Italian Garden).
