Ehrismann Residence
Ehrismann Residence (エリスマン邸), designed in 1926 by Czech architect Antonin Raymond, is a stunning example of early 20th-century architecture. Originally built as the residence of Swiss businessman Fritz Ehrismann, the house boasts a variety of rooms, including a dining room, drawing room, bedrooms, and a sunroom. In 1990, the house was carefully relocated to its current location, preserving its historical integrity and charm. The building’s architectural details, including its blend of Western and Japanese influences, provide a glimpse into the refined lifestyle of its original owners.
Today, visitors can step back in time and experience the elegant atmosphere of the residence while enjoying a visit to the retro-style café located within the house. The café offers a selection of small plates and beverages, allowing guests to relax and savor the ambiance of the vintage interior. Combining historical beauty with modern comforts, Ehrismann Residence provides a unique opportunity to explore Yokohama’s rich architectural heritage while enjoying a peaceful, immersive experience.
