The main building of Numazu Imperial Villa was built in 1893 as a retreat for Crown Prince Yoshihito, the future Emperor Taisho.
It was discontinued as an Imperial villa in 1969, after which it was loaned free of charge to the City of Numazu.
It opened to the public as the Numazu Goyotei Memorial Park in 1970.
The villa’s exteriors, interiors, and garden retain vestiges of its history as a retreat for the Imperial Family through the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa periods.
In addition to its historical value, it has an atmosphere that stirs the heart.
