Kyukonoe-tei Konoe Residence

Kyukonoe-tei is the former residence of the Konoe family located in Nishio City Historical Park in the grounds of Nishio Castle ruins. There is a dry landscape garden surrounding the Shoin Teahouse. After being used as a villa for Imperial Prince Komatsunomiya for a time , it was relocated to Nishio, Aichi when it was decided to demolish it at the end of the Showa period. Rather than demolish the villa, it was transferred from Kyoto and donated to Nishio in 1995. Thus, the modern circuit-style dry landscape garden was created at that time.
