[A masterpiece of Sukiya-style architecture standing on the banks of the Hijikawa River]

📍Garyu Sanso, Ehime Prefecture The Hijikawa River winds its way through the mountains and reaches the Ozu Basin. The most scenic spot on the banks of the Hijikawa River reflects the fresh greenery and autumn leaves like a water mirror on calm days. The scenic spot, named "Garyu-buchi," has been a view that has been loved by feudal lords since the days of the Ozu Domain. Later, Torajiro Kawachi, who gained wealth through the wood wax trade, built Garyu Sanso here over the course of more than ten years. The villa, built to protect the tea ceremony culture, has become a masterpiece of sukiya architecture that embodies the beauty of Japan. 　#0 Yen Travel January 2025
