Stroll through the spacious mansion and gardens of the Imperial Villa
About this spot
A memorial park preserving the Imperial Villa built for the recuperation of Emperor Taisho. The expansive wooden structure with 106 rooms feels like an exploration adventure just to walk through, and the gardens viewed from the veranda present different seasonal beauty. It's a hidden gem where you can escape the bustle of the temples and shrines and end your trip with a leisurely atmosphere.
Tips
You remove your shoes to view the interior, so easily removable shoes and socks are recommended. The spacious gardens are perfect for a quiet rest in the afternoon when you're tired from walking.
Best time to visit
Allow 60-80 minutes. Late afternoon before closing is peaceful
