Kamakura City is preparing to open a museum in a former private residence designed by Norman Foster. Starting next year, the public will be able to step inside a landmark property that has been off-limits for the past 12 years.

The one-of-a-kind property is located a 9 minute walk from Kamakura Station in the Ogigayatsu neighbourhood. The house was donated to the city in 2013. After some interior alterations, the museum is scheduled to open in April 2017.
