Kyu Asakura House, located near Daikanyama Station, Shibuya, is one of the a handful of traditional Japanese-style houses in central Tokyo. It was built in 1919 by Torajiro Asakura, the chairperson of the Tokyo Council.

The quaint house is designated as a nationally important cultural property and is now managed by Shibuya Ward. You can visit and see a part of its buildings and its stunning garden. It's the right place to get away from the hustle and bustle of Tokyo.

Wow, it's really breathtaking. I recently started making a list of places to see when I visit Japan. I find myself adding new places to that list every time I watch your videos, heheh.
