Tenkyokaku Villa, built in 1908 by Prince Arisugawa Taruhito, offers a glimpse into imperial life amidst the scenic beauty of Lake Inawashiro. Later named by Emperor Taisho, this Western-style building, now a nationally designated Important Cultural Property, features period furniture and architectural details. Visitors can explore the villa's interior, including a third-floor observation deck, and stroll through the gardens. Note that the lake view is now partially obscured by trees. Located in Inawashiro, Fukushima, it's accessible by bus from Inawashiro Station. Open to the public, it provides a unique cultural and historical experience, with an optional dress rental for photos.
