    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☆

Aichi Areas

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.
