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.
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.
Very well preserved imperial summer residence, now turn into an imperial museum. Besides Japanese narratives, it also has English translation. A must visit for Nikko visitors
Former Imperial Summer House. Beautiful architecture and gardens in a very serene environment. It was just so relaxing to visit, escaping the bustle of the city. There's an unassuming Imperial tea house that serves simple lunch and sweets.
