Residence for Japanese Monks

Location: Nearby Zhapu Road

Text from Cintia’s personal diary

This Japanese house used to be the place where the Japanese monks lived. We were lucky to meet the current owner of the house, a middle aged Shanghainese man who bought the house recently at a very low price of just RMB 400,000!

He told us as a kid, he lived nearby and was envious of the residents inside the house. He began to question himself, "Why can this people live in this beautiful house? And if they can do so, why can’t I?"

To celebrate his 52th birthday, he decided to purchase this house as a gift for himself, something he had wanted all his life!

The place is still undergoing renovation, and he even promised to invite us there when it’s done!
