鎌倉御用邸, Imperial villa in Kamakura, Japan
The Kamakura Imperial Villa featured traditional Japanese architecture with wooden structures spread across multiple buildings near the coast of Kanagawa Prefecture.
Emperor Meiji established the villa in 1899 as a summer residence for his daughters, Princess Fumi-no-miya Nobuko and Princess Yasunomiya Toshiko.
The architectural design of the villa combined Japanese traditional elements with influences from Western styles during the Meiji period modernization.
The original villa site, destroyed by the Great Kanto earthquake of 1923, was transferred to Kamakura city authorities in 1931 for educational purposes.
The villa served as a private retreat for Imperial Family members, positioned in an area where they maintained several residences during the early modern period.
