Nikko Tamozawa Imperial Villa Memorial Park

日光田母沢御用邸記念公園

Tochigi · Kanto

Nikko Tamozawa Imperial Villa was used by the imperial family on their visits to Nikko, and puts traditional Japanese rooms and Western-style additions under a single roof, set in gardens at the edge of the town. It opens 9:00 AM–5:00 PM and closes on Tuesdays. It is a short walk from Tobu-Nikko Station and takes about an hour to go round.

Why we picked it

Many travelers focus on the more famous shrines and temples in Nikko, overlooking this peaceful retreat.
