Shibamata: An Elegant Sanctuary, Yamamoto-tei 🌸🌺🌿🍃

🌺🌿Built at the end of the Taisho period, Yamamoto-tei was originally the residence of entrepreneur Yamamoto Eisuke. 🌺🌿This two-story wooden structure with tile-roofed traditional Japanese study-style architecture is blended with Western elements. 🌺🌿This stunning fusion of Japanese and Western styles is characteristic of Taisho romance. 🏮 🌺🌿The garden of Yamamoto-tei features ponds, flowing water, and pine trees, and is listed as a must-visit garden in Japan. 🌺🌿Sitting on tatami mats, gazing at such a beautiful garden, listening to the sound of flowing water and birdsong, 🌺🌿sipping a cup of rich matcha, one's heart unconsciously relaxes. 🌺🌿 It's truly a comfortable and touching experience. 🍵 #ShibamataGarden #JapaneseElegance 🌸🍃
