British aristocrat country side style mansion with a Japanese style house as well. Plan for about 45 mins. There is an elevator for making the place accessible. If you have seen western palaces castles or be the like and are short on time you could give it a miss. Very well maintained property and an important part of Japanese history.

Two historical buildings in a medium-sized park, one in Japanese style, the other faux-European. I prefer the Japanese one. It has a beautiful garden and a fantastic minimalist layout. The house of the Marquis is too stiff for my taste. You'll also find the Museum of Modern Japanese literature in the park, so all in all, it is not a bad place to spend a few hours.

The Wakan building (in the modern Japanese style) and teahouse were amazing. Very beautiful building and gardens. The guides were very welcoming and friendly, and I want to especially thank the guide who gave me a tour in English. She did an amazing job and I learnt so much about this amazing treasure of a building.

The structure and grounds were beautiful. We really appreciated the tour guide who provided us a thorough history of the traditions behind each design element. She was so kind and generous with her time and made it an unforgettable experience. Thank you!

a peaceful traditional Japanese house turned teahouse. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, perfect for a quiet break. The backyard garden was especially beautiful—a lovely hidden gem.
