Kiryu House
| ||||||||||||||||
Kiryu House is a house in Minakami Village. Kiryu House and Tachibana House were known as the Twin Houses, connected by the Heaven Bridge and Earth Bridge. In the past, the Kiryu house was the residence of the Kiryu Family, but after Yoshitatsu Kiryu was killed by his daughter, it appears to have been abandoned, and most of the house is locked, except for a few rooms used by Twin Shrine Maidens undergoing purification prior to the Crimson Sacrifice Ritual. The house has several dolls and parts of dolls here, since the head of the former Kiryu family was a doll-maker.
Crimson Butterfly Remake
In Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake, changes have been made to the layout of the Kiryu House. The wing of linked tatami rooms, previously inaccessible in Fatal Frame II and Deep Crimson Butterfly due to the house's collapsed roof, has been opened up. The hidden room on the second floor, where the Twin Doll hid the Kiryu Family Crest in the original and Deep Crimson Butterfly, is now associated with a former Kiryu family head, who took his own life there to atone for having told a pair of twins the way out of the village.

Misc. Info
- Masumi Makimura is seen as a vanishing ghost entering the house, suggesting he might have explored it, but his ghost is never encountered inside, and none of his notes mention it.
- In Deep Crimson Butterfly, the Kiryu House Key is kept in the Kureha Shrine by the priests. In Fatal Frame II, there is no key, and only the Camera Obscura is required to open main entrance.
- In Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake, the key is now in the cemetery, where Yoshitatsu Kiryu hid it so that no one could enter the house until the Twin Doll was exorcised.
