Nikkō Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial Park

With 106 rooms, it is the only imperial villa of its era whose buildings survive almost complete, and ten of them are Important Cultural Properties. The oldest section was moved from a Kishu Tokugawa residence in Akasaka, Tokyo, and dates from the Edo period. Later Meiji and Taishō additions blend Japanese rooms with Western-style interiors. Emperor Akihito stayed here as crown prince from 1944, and the grounds are now much smaller than in the villa's heyday.
