Originally constructed in 1933 as an imperial residence, this enchanting museum stands as one of Tokyo’s finest examples of classic Art Deco style. The lavish interiors were conceptualized by renowned French artist Henri Rapin, highlighted by magnificent decorative glasswork and chandeliers crafted by master jeweler René Lalique. Visitors can marvel at the meticulously preserved period rooms, rotating cultural exhibitions, and the tranquil landscaped gardens that surround the estate. It offers an elegant step back in time into 1930s cosmopolitan grandeur right in the heart of Tokyo.
