【Renaissance by the Lakeside】 A crystallization of aesthetic sensibility loved by the royal family. Nationally designated important cultural property 'Tenkyokaku'

On the beautiful shores of Lake Inawashiro, an elegant Western-style mansion quietly stands in perfect harmony with the surrounding nature. This is 'Tenkyokaku', built in 1907 as a villa for Prince Arisugawa Yoshihito. It is a historic building representing the Inawashiro area, later designated as an important cultural property of the country.

■ Breathtaking Renaissance-style design

A point of meticulous attention is the beauty of Western architecture that has been thoroughly refined down to the smallest details.

• Exquisite craftsmanship: Inside the mansion, which incorporates Renaissance style, there are 26 heavy marble mantels installed, conveying the luxurious lifestyle of the royal family at that time.
• Crystal of artisan skills: Luxurious chandeliers illuminating each room and circular decorative paintings on the ceilings showcase the artisans' skills, delighting the eyes of visitors.

■ A 'maze of beauty' that changes expression in each room

What’s even more wonderful is the intricate design that changes the interior decor as you move from room to room.

• Ultimate art museum: The lighting and wallpaper styles are calculated according to the purpose of each room, creating a sensation as if you are walking through an art museum just by touring the mansion.
• Contrast of travel: Transitioning from the heavy 'Japanese' history experienced in Aizu and Yonezawa, to immersing in the elegant 'Western' romance by Lake Inawashiro. It is an exquisite space that enriches the travel experience and satisfies the aesthetic sensibilities of adults.
