Educational tour History

Built in 1896, Kyu-Iwasaki-tei Gardens is the former residence of Mitsubishi's Iwasaki family. The whole premise measured approximately 50,000㎡ at its peak, and what we see today is only a third of the size it once was. Its western-style architecture from the Meiji period will bring you back to those days.
