✨Tokyo's century-old secret place! After reading the modern history of Japan, the life of aristocrats is so addictive

#TokyoHotel This time we discovered the most "atura" hotel in Tokyo - Tsubakiyama! It was formerly the villa of Aritomo Yamagata, a famous Meiji Restoration general, named after the garden full of camellias ("Tsubaki" in Japanese). You must know that in Tokyo, a place where winter is freezing, being able to cultivate delicate camellias is a symbol of wealth and power! (The status is equivalent to Li Hongzhang's mountain county having friends in the Qing Dynasty. He knows how to enjoy himself.) The hotel occupies a vast area, and although it is some distance from the city, it is just the right thing to do "quiet in the middle of the bustle" - when Tokyo is crowded during the Lunar New Year, you can still smell the birds singing and the fragrance of flowers. Stepping into the garden, you can see century-old wooden buildings, antique-grade furnishings, and even the courtyard stone lanterns are artifacts with "stories". The most shocking thing is the pagoda in the garden, enshrining the solemn Guanyin, matching the red leaves or new green, the whole aura solemn and tranquil. The interior of the hotel is simply a "mobile museum": every seat and every mural is worth a fortune, yet rejuvenated. It's best for my kind of "escapist" - go shopping in Shibuya and Ginza during the day, and come back here at night to enjoy draft beer! Specially recommend the bar-exclusive “Santory Master’s Dream” draft beer. With a thousand-yuan glass wine glass, looking at the stylish old man in a suit with his female companion sipping whiskey, a second through the Meiji era noble gathering scene ~ The most surprising thing is that this is still the "Secret Land of Chinese People", the room price is more affordable than the city five stars! If you are tired of the tourists and want to try how the "modern Japanese aristocracy" lives, remember to bookmark this hidden treasure ~
