The Former Tanaka Family Residence (旧田中家住宅) is a western-style building located in Kawaguchi, Saitama.
It was constructed in 1923 for Tokubei Tanaka, a miso industrialist. He later went into politics.
The building from the outside is constructed in brick. Inside however there are Japanese-style rooms and western-style rooms. The building was unusual for its time that it had three stories already. It is an example of early western influence on architecture in Japan.[1]
