Garyū Sansō, Cultural property and historic house in Ōzu, Japan
The villa contains multiple wooden buildings with thatched roofs, positioned along the Hijikawa River with carefully designed garden pathways and viewing points.
Built in 1907, the construction of Garyu Sanso required four years of work from 9000 artisans who referenced design elements from imperial villas in Kyoto.
The interior spaces feature traditional elements including varied tatami mat sizes, carved transoms, decorated door handles, and aesthetically arranged Buddhist altars.
The property opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with admission fees of 550 yen for Garyu Sanso or 880 yen when combined with Ozu Castle entry.
The Furo-an teahouse incorporates a living tree as one of its supporting pillars and features a curved ceiling that reflects moonlight during evening hours.
