I visited Bohol island.
They have big windows on the façade side,
and the handrail under the windows is made of wood, but curved, resembling embellished
pillars.
It reminded me of the old building I saw in
Kagoshima, Japan. I felt that there were similar features on those two
buildings from a long distance.
The building in Japan was built in the 19th century for British engineers' accommodation.
If my memory serves me well, the style was
called 'Colonial Style' which was created based on European houses but adopted to a tropical climate.
Kagoshima area is the southern most area in
Japan, so it might be built in that style.
I feel odd that I remember Japan rather
than Europe when I see a style that came from Europe.
Which do you think is Kagoshima's?
Thanks to Chibi-lang and Madox's correction.
