[Tokyo] Former Imperial Guest House

The former Takeda Palace, which is usually used as a wedding venue and is rarely open to the public, was holding a two-day afternoon tea event, so I went! The interior was designed to remind me of Akasaka Palace, which was designed by the same architect, and it was very elegant and dazzling! I had been curious about it for a long time, so I was glad to be able to go, take part in the architectural tour, and enjoy afternoon tea in an elegant space. [Things to enjoy ☝️] ・It is rarely open to the public, so check the homepage. The afternoon tea was based on the theme of SDGs, and leftover ingredients were used to make the food even more delicious. I was also given a card made from a seed as a souvenir, which was a mysterious card that would grow some kind of plant if buried in soil! ---------------------------------------------------- ◆Building🏠 Former Takedamiya Residence 3-13-1 Takanawa, Minato-ku, Tokyo 108-0074 ◆Access🚶 11 minutes on foot from Takanawadai Station ◆Price💰 16,000 yen per person ◆Reservations Available, reservations accepted for 2 or more people ◆Photos📷 OK ---------------------------------------------------- Retro Walk | Walking around the town in a kimono ↓Recommended for those who like this! -Retro lovers -Want to know where to wear a kimono👘 -Want to spend a relaxing weekend or trip -------------------------------------------------- [Retro Walk's thoughts🕰️] Retro Walk started with the desire to make people feel that "old" is "beautiful" and stop to look at it. There are many wonderful historic buildings in Japan, but they are difficult to maintain and are often demolished. This goes for not only buildings, but also traditional Japanese objects and techniques. I hope that this will be an opportunity for as many people as possible to take a fresh look at old things before they disappear from Japan. If you find a place that catches your eye, please take a retro stroll and relax! ---------------------------------------------------- #DomesticTravelTactics
