Beautiful Garden
The residence has a lovely traditional Japanese garden with a koi pond, which is a great place to relax and contemplate after exploring the house. 400-year-old wax myrtle trees, old beech trees, rare and exquisite stones, a meandering stream that flows beneath the open verandah, and a small waterfall combine to form a space with elegant depth.
