Wikipedia
This mansion was built by Baron Toranosuke Furukawa, which includes a western-style building and a western-style garden, and a Japanese-style garden. The western-style building and western-style gardens were completed in 1917, which were designed by English architect Josiah Conder (1852-1920). Conder was called “father of Japanese modern architecture” and also designed Rokumeikan and Kyu-Iwasaki-tei Garden, Holy Resurrection Cathedral. And the Japanese garden was completed in 1919, which was designed by Japanese-gardener Ogawa Jihei VII.
Baron Furukawa was the owner of Furukawa zaibatu which owned Ashio copper mine .
Japanese Garden
The Japanese garden is surrounded by a deep forest. The Western building and garden are hidden by tall trees. In the centre of the stroll garden is an artificial pond called “Shin- ji- ike” which means “Heart letter pond”, because its pattern is designed by Kanji “心(Shin)” which means heart. Around the pond are Tōrōs (stone lanterns), artificial hill, water falls, islands, and a tea ceremony house.
The park in its current state was opened to the public in 1956.
