💡Point💡☑️Roman bath! The stained glass windows and terracotta water outlets that were actually used are still there from the time of construction! A unique world view!
☑️Retro sunroom It features large windows, a stained glass ceiling and a colorful tile floor! The "Art Deco" design gives a sense of Taisho retro!
