Built in 1913 in the historic seaside town of Inage, this peaceful villa briefly served as the newlywed sanctuary for Aisin-Gioro Pujie—younger brother of Puyi, China's last emperor—and his aristocratic Japanese wife, Hiro Saga. Though the couple resided here for only six months in 1937, the serene residence preserves fond memories of their cross-cultural union against the backdrop of turbulent pre-war politics. Today, visitors can explore the intimate traditional rooms showcasing Pujie's masterful calligraphy, Qing-era artworks, and evocative vintage photographs. It stands as a quiet, evocative time capsule offering a rare glimpse into the intertwined histories of China and Japan.
