Overview
Meiji-era clifftop villa rivaling Katsura Imperial Villa, with a tea room over a river gorge.
A masterpiece of Meiji-era residential architecture perched on a cliff above the Hijikawa River, designed to frame the landscape as living art. The villa's three buildings use rustic materials with extraordinary craftsmanship, including a tea room cantilevered over the river gorge. Often called a rival to Kyoto's Katsura Imperial Villa, Garyu Sanso achieves refined beauty through studied imperfection.
