Japanese Garden

The Shumokukan is a building that combines a "Japanese-style building" used as a residence and a "Western-style building" used for receptions, a blend of Japanese and Western styles. The Western-style building was the most advanced hospitality of its time. The Japanese-style room can be used as a rental room, and an exhibition was being held on that day.

tea room

In a corner of the Japanese garden, there is a tea ceremony room with a 2.5 tatami mat, medium board, muko-giri style (ways to cut a furnace in a tea room) structure. This tearoom was relocated from Kyoto.

Behind the Japanese-style room, you can see the kitchen, which still retains the appearance of the early Showa period.
