Tairyū-Sansō, Historic villa in Nanzen-ji district, Japan
The Tairyu-sanso estate spans 1800 tsubo with a sukiya-style building, stone waterfalls, flowing streams, and expansive lawn areas within its grounds.
Built between 1896 and 1899 as Kentsune Ijuin's villa on former Nanzen-ji temple grounds, the property underwent modifications from 1901 to 1905 under Yaichiro Ichida.
The garden, created by master landscape architect Jihei Ogawa VII, represents the refinement of traditional Japanese garden design during the Meiji period.
The property, currently owned by Nitori Holdings, functions as a corporate retreat and requires special permission for visits due to its private status.
The villa received its name from its position facing Mount Zuiryu, the mountain where Nanzen-ji temple stands, earning designation as a National Place of Scenic Beauty in 1988.
