    Aichi Pref. Nagoyashi Chikusa-ku Hououchou 2-5-17
    Yokiso is a representative work of a suburban vacation home close to Nagoya built on large premises of approximately 33,100 square meters that utilizes the terrain and surrounding nature. The villa was built by Ito Jirozaemon Suketami, the first president of Matsuzakaya Company, over a period spanning from the Taisho period to the Showa period, and five buildings that are designated as cultural assets and a garden remain today. Here one can sense the history of Nagoya as it was used as a reception hall and a place for social gatherings in the past. It is approximately 10 minutes on foot from Kakuozan Station on the subway’s Higashiyama Line.

    松坂屋創業者の邸宅と広大な庭園跡地。近くまで来たので寄ってみました。 現在は一般に開放されており、北園は無料ですので、気軽に入れます。何名かスタッフさんがいて、誘導してくださいます。（案内などは特になし） ５月の新緑と花々に癒されました。小さな稲荷神社や池にかかる橋もあり、平日でしたが来場者が写真を撮ったり、ベンチに座っておしゃべりしたりして、のんびりした空気が漂います。気分転換になりました☆

    ふらっと入ってみたのですが、洋館と和館にそれぞれボランティアガイドさんがいて、いろいろ説明をしてくださり、想像以上に楽しめました。 現存のまま補修しかしていないとのことで、当時の暮らしや流行、しきたりなどを垣間見ることができます。 きれいなお庭が見えるカフェも魅力的です。

    Aichi Pref. Okazakishi Kakemachi Ashinobe 40-1
    The house and part of the water fountain built by Honda Tadatsugu, the second son of the viscount family, in 1932 has been relocated and restored to Kake Town, Okazaki City, Aichi Prefecture. Tadatsugu is a descendant of the former Okazaki daimyo (feudal lord) Honda clan who descended from the samurai general, Honda Tadakatsu, who was once said to be one of the Tokugawa-shitenno (four generals serving Tokugawa Ieyasu). He was also at the cutting edge of academia at the time. The house is a wooden Western-style building based on the Spanish style that was fashionable at the time. Inside are both modern Western-style rooms and purely Japanese-style rooms. There’s plenty to see such as furniture, stained glass and mosaic tiles, etc. Exhibitions are occasionally held throughout the year.

    Part of the Higashi Park grounds, the house was originally built in Tokyo in 1930s and moved to and rebuilt in Okazaki in 1990s. It belonged to a descendant of one of the Tokugawa Ieasu deputies...

Aichi Areas

around-area-map

Aichi is a prefecture of great natural beauty with Nagoya city at its heart, a busy hub home to a labyrinth of underground shops and the 17th-century Nagoya Castle. Castles are easy to find in this history-rich prefecture, but the highlight for history buffs has to be the Museum Meiji-mura, where preserved buildings from the turn of the 20th century are displayed in all their grandeur in an outdoor museum.
