[Tochigi] The summer resort of Oku-Nikko that once attracted the British ambassador

Oku-Nikko attracted many diplomats during the Meiji era. It was said that "the Ministry of Foreign Affairs moves to Nikko in the summer," and Nikko flourished as an international summer resort. This building was built in 1896 as a villa for Ernest Satow, a British diplomat who influenced the Meiji Restoration. It was actually used as a villa for the British Embassy until 2008. Lake Chuzenji is right in front of you, so you can sit in a chair and enjoy the beautiful view. You can also enjoy scones and tea here in a British style 🫖 Why not enjoy a taste of Britain in Nikko? #Sakura2024
