Son Gohan's House is the first home of the protagonist Son Goku where he lived with his adopted grandfather, Grandpa Gohan, in the world of Dragon Ball by Akira Toriyama. It should not be confused by the later Son Gohan's (his son's) house. Daizenshuu 4 uses this term to refer to Goku's original home only.

General Overview

Son Gohan's House, point #2, is located in the same region of the world as Son Goku's later home, point #4, but some distance away.

Shortly after arriving on Earth, Grandpa Gohan took Son Goku to live with him at his house, a remote dwelling on Mount Paozu. After Gohan's accidental death, Goku inherited the house and lived there until he departed with Bulma in Age 749. He may have returned there infrequently while not traveling, but appears to have settled down in (or near) his childhood home after marrying Chi-Chi in Age 756. By Age 764, Goku and Chi-Chi moved to an alternate site.

Son Gohan's home was a small one-room dwelling on a cliff overlooking a river. The home is patterned off a traditional Chinese house with brick walls and a clay tile roof. On the left-hand side, a single paper and lattice-covered window provides light into the dwelling. The door of the home included a Hanzi character 福 (Chinese: Fú, Japanese: Fuku) meaning "good fortune". These are most commonly seen around Chinese New Year. A squat well sits next to the home for water.

  A single window dominates the left-hand side. From the inside, this window looks a traditional paper-covered window with Chinese-style latticework.
• 
  The entrance to Son Gohan's house reads 福 (Chinese: Fú, Japanese: Fuku) meaning "good fortune". These characters are frequently seen on Chinese houses, especially around Chinese New Year.

Just inside the door, on right, is a small bed where Goku and Grandpa Gohan would sleep. Next to the bed is shelves and storage pots. The rear of the space is dominated by a small dresser. After the death of Grandpa Gohan, Goku set up a small shrine with the 4-star Dragon Ball in his grandfather's memory on that dresser.

  There is shelving and a storage nook on the right real wall, past the bed.
• 
  The sign on the rear wall reads 輪 (Chinese: Lún, Japanese: Wa) meaning "ring" or "wheel". This could be a deep message about the circularity of life or a cute joke by Son Gohan of the word "ring" written inside of a ring.

Tidbits

• Several Dragon Ball Z episodes including 125 and 136 show Goku and family back at their "old" house (adjacent to Son Gohan's House), even after they are seen at their "new" house in episode 123. This discontinuity is likely a production error. Daizenshuu 4 clearly states that the houses are in separate locations.
