What’s an ornate Japanese-style home doing in the heart of a Brooklyn Victorian neighborhood? Built at the turn of the 20th century as a bold marketing stunt to draw attention to Prospect Park South, the “Japanese House” has stood as one of New York’s most unique private residences for over a century. Now’s your chance to step inside this pagoda-topped curiosity and uncover its fascinating story, straight from the home’s longtime owner.

Join New York Adventure Club for an exclusive tour and lunch inside the iconic and privately owned “Japanese House” of Prospect Park South, an authentic Japanese-style house built in 1903 with the purpose of attracting attention to the newly developed neighborhood.

Led by the current homeowner, our intimate experience limited to six guests will include:

  • An overview of the century-old Japanese House and the architectural vision behind Prospect Park South’s development
  • The full story behind the fight for landmark designation, including how the home and neighborhood were preserved from demolition in the 1970s
  • A guided walk through the home’s first floor, featuring the living room, parlor, dining room, and original kitchen — all with Asian-inspired décor
  • A close look at standout features, from hand-crafted dragon sculptures on the fireplace to other historic artifacts and design details
  • A relaxing post-tour lunch served in the home’s cozy dining area, offering a chance to reflect and connect

Your ticket includes the house tour with a light lunch provided following the experience.
See you there!

*Tickets will close several hours before the tour to ensure enough food is ordered for lunch
