Beautiful little house (though 'little' because not all of it has been opened to the public) surrounded by lush, pretty gardens. Hearn wrote about his stay here in The Atlantic, June 1882 and little has changed. There is a sublime sense of peace, scholarship and happiness. A short but profound experience that benefits from the absence of visitors.

Very small and just a couple rooms, but if you are interested in seeing more about Lafcadio Hearn’s life, check it out. There are some nice artworks and displays. You can rest your mind looking out at the Japanese garden. It is discounted for foreign visa holders. You can take pictures inside, too.

I like Lafcadio Hearn's stories, and it absolutely trilled me to be able to finally visit his former residence. The landscape is really stunning, the surrounding streets are also very traditional-looking, it's very relaxing to walk among those streets.

The small size is not the problem, but there is virtually no information. For that you have to go next door to the Memorial Hall.

イギリスからアメリカ各地を経て日本に渡ってきたラフカディオ・ハーンは、松江の没落士族の娘で、ハーン家の住み込み女中であった小泉節子と結婚して小泉八雲となります。八雲は松江の北堀で空家となっていた武家屋敷を借りて、節子との新居とします。八雲の熊本への転勤により、夫婦がここで過ごした期間はほんの数か月ほどだったのですが、八雲が著書「知られぬ日本の面影」で屋敷の庭を絶賛したことから広く知られることになり、「小泉八雲旧居」として国の史跡に指定されています。 現在もよくよく手入れされていて、往時のままの様子を楽しめます。

Wirklich wunderschön hier, vor allem der Lotusteich. Sehr besonderes Erlebnis v.a. wenn man „in einem japanischen Garten“ von ihm gelesen hat, dann findet man alles in der Realität wieder.
