Kyu-Furukawa Gardens

While the Western-style house is built on a small hill, the western garden is on the slope and the Japanese-style garden is located on a low-land area. This characteristic garden is a valuable example of the early Taisho period, where the fusion of traditional methods and modern technology has achieved a splendid harmony of Japanese and Western styles.
