A Western-style building located on the grounds of the Meiji no Mori Kuroiso Roadside Station

This is the villa of Shuzo Aoki, who served as German envoy and Minister of Foreign Affairs during the Meiji period.
Built using European-style architectural techniques, it has been designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan.

This beautiful Western-style building features white walls in a Western European architectural style.

It is adjacent to Hanna Garden, where flowers bloom beautifully throughout the seasons.

With rape blossoms in the spring, sunflowers in the summer, and cosmos in the fall, it is a popular photo spot.

The sunflowers hadn't bloomed yet, so this photo was of the tree-lined path leading to it.
This is also lovely.
