Yokiso Villa Garden

4.3 (668)Tourist AttractionPoint Of InterestEstablishment

Discover the serene beauty of Yokiso Villa Garden, an exquisite historical site in Nagoya. Constructed between 1918 and 1937 by Ito Jirozaemon Suketami, the inaugural president of Matsuzakaya Company, this villa masterfully combines Japanese and Western architectural elements.

The garden, a lush expanse of natural beauty, offers a picturesque retreat that changes with the seasons, showcasing vibrant colors and tranquil scenery. Initially serving as a dignitary reception hall and a dormitory for Asian students, Yokiso Villa is now a preserved cultural asset. 

The garden features highlights like the Hakuun Bridge, which is reminiscent of Shugakuin Imperial Villa's Chitose Bridge, and the Sanshotei tea ceremony room. These features, combined with the villa's rich history, make it a must-visit destination for Japanese culture and history.

Embark on a journey through time and nature at Yokiso Villa Garden. Plan your visit today and immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere of this historical gem.

What other travelers are saying about Yokiso Villa Garden

We didn't pay to go into the house but enjoyed the garden for free. There's an Inari shrine with vermilion torii gates, and a pretty lake with a bridge that reminded us of Monet's paintings and his garden in Giverny. There's a tea house, too, but you can only look in from outside. The azaleas are beautiful, but were mostly finished when we were there, while the wisteria was not yet in bloom.

It was a super nice place to visit. The building is well maintained. I liked hearing about the owner, who is the creator of the matzukaiya stores that are in all the stations. The north garden was also good. It was awesome to hear how they connected a lot of the building via underground tunnels. The staff were nice and for 300 yen it was a nice place to explore while in the area.
