Celebrating my husband’s 64th birthday at the historical restaurant “Conder House.”

The Conder House was built in 1926 as the head office of the former Nagoya Bank on Hirokoji Street in Sakae-machi 1-chome, Naka-ku, Nagoya, which was the axis of development of the textile and automobile industries.

In the early Showa period (1926-1989), the area flourished as a financial district, and numerous banks and insurance companies lined the street.

As a symbol of wealth, this building was built with a level of luxury unimaginable today.

It was designed by Teiji Suzuki.

Today, it is designated as an important building in the cityscape.

In 2018, it was reborn as a restaurant with wedding facilities.

The restaurant offers lunch, dinner, afternoon tea, coffee and soft drinks, and has a full bar, all in a space with gorgeous furnishings.

For weddings, a chapel filled with natural light and a staircase that looks like a scene from a movie provide the perfect atmosphere for the happy couple.

My husband and I were pleased that we were able to have a champagne toast, dinner, and finally a cake and a bouquet of flowers in such a beautiful restaurant.

Thank you for a blissful time for us antique lovers.
