Thoughts of the host
This area (Shin-machi / Furu-machi) has a close relationship historically with Korea, so I feel attached to this area as a Korean.
Beyond the past war history between Korea and Japan, Kumamoto city established a sister city relationship and exchange with Ulsan city in Korea.
Passing down this legacy, I hope that this house and its history that exceeds 130 years will be a place where everyone can freely have cultural exchanges with each other, regardless of age, nationality and race.
I would like to spread knowledge of attractions in this area to people who live in Japan, and also to people visiting from foreign countries.
