The former residence of Mori Ogai in Kitakyushu City is a beautiful Japanese-style house built during the Meiji period, and is a historic place where the literary giant Mori Ogai stayed as the chief surgeon of the military. While enjoying the view of the blooming hundred-day red flowers and large banana trees in the garden, you can actually experience the setting of his novel "The Cock". You can also catch a glimpse of the daily life at that time from "Kokura Diary". By visiting this place, you can truly experience the feeling of embarking on a journey to follow in the footsteps of Mori Ogai!
