Old Mitsui Family Shimogamo Villa
With well-preserved premises from the Meiji period (1868-1912), it was designated as an Important Cultural Property in 2011 because of its high historical value. The main building has a garden on its south side, integrated for an open atmosphere. Although the second and third floors are only available during special times, there is a watchtower on the third floor where you can enjoy views of the Kamo river and Higashiyama. You can also rent the main room on the second floor and tea room.
