What other travelers are saying about Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial Park
Large structure surrounded by gardens. Very picturesque and interesting. There's an admission fee and you must remove your outdoor shoes before entering the building. There are lockers for your belongings at the entrance. The staff were friendly and helpful but only speaks Japanese.
Worth a detour if you have the time to get an understanding of Japan’s imperial family and how they lived in the past. The garden is also worth exploring especially during autumn to see the foliage. There was little crowd when we visited.
Visited in October, this place is very nice and calm to walk around and learn about how emperor use his daily life here. Each room we walked by made us imagine that we are actual back in time.
Well worth a visit while you are in Nikko. This well preserved building and garden show the style that the Imperial Family had. The timber work through the buildings is so precise and beautiful.
If you like exploring a piece of history, this is perfect for you. The architecture and gardens are lovely.
That a former emperor came here every summer, speaks to its charm and regal value. After walking around you can visit lovely cafes near by.
