About this spot

A Meiji-era sukiya-style architecture villa standing on the banks of the Hiji River. The garden design beautifully incorporates the clear Hiji River as its borrowed scenery, creating a serene space enveloped by the green of the trees and the sound of the river's gentle flow. The garden where you can enjoy nature through all seasons and the building with its delicate artistic details are designated as National Important Cultural Properties. By visiting together with Ozu Castle, you can more deeply appreciate the refined aesthetic sense that permeates this land.
