Building materials are of finest quality, including glass windows and wooden frames that can no longer be found in current days.

You can enjoy seasonal flowers and trees; with different scenery from each room. The newly created garden received the Japanese Garden Award, and you can also see this garden from the jacuzzi and indoor bath. In one corner of the garden, there is also an authentic white-walled storehouse with two floors above ground and one floor below ground.
