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.

The Imperial Villa went on forever. Lots of rooms. They look out to courtyards and the beautiful landscaping. This time of year is great because of the changing season. Colors and all. It is worth the visit!

This Villa and it's garden is amazing. If you wish to see original japanese buildings like a houndred years ago please pay this a visit. 106 rooms and 13 inner gardens speaks for itself. It's really worth a visit!

I have been here twice and it's one of my favourite places to visit in Nikko. Always peaceful and a fascinating villa - Mix of Edo/Meiji architecture and Japanese and western interiors. I love looking out at the garden as you go through the villa and then walking around the garden and looking back at the building. The garden has elements of a formal Japanese garden but I find it feels quite natural and peaceful. There is nearby parking and the cafe is wonderful (separate review).

Very underrated place that is steeped in history. The displays were really informative and the whole place is very clean and well maintained. The gardens behind the villa are tranquil and nice to just sit in. You should come during spring or autumn to enjoy the lovely view of the flowers and the foliage.
