​A former brothel near Kawagoe's Kita-in,still breathing the air of a bygone era.Intricate 2F railings are key,but the soul lies in the deep 1F eaves.They cast a profound shadow,creating a dim interior designed to pull visitors into an otherworldly realm.

This designated heritage building, now a yoshoku restaurant, was originally built in 1924 as a brothel. Its most stunning feature is the costly, stained-glass-like panels on the second-floor railing. These decorations hint at the lavishness of the past.
