Its gorgeous decorations, modeled after the Palace of Versailles in France, are a fusion of traditional Japanese design, creating a beautiful blend of Japanese and Western styles. The gold leaf ceiling, 800kg crystal hanging lamps, cloisonné flower and bird paintings, and other international techniques make for a spectacular space. **Highlights**: - "Sairan no Ma": A luxurious reception room with a sacred bird relief and mirrored walls - "Kacho no Ma": A state guest dinner room with cloisonné decorations - "Hagoromo no Ma": A Noh ceiling painting and a huge chandelier **Access**: 7 minutes walk from Yotsuya Station on the Marunouchi Line/Namboku Line.
