It used to be a residence of the Ii family (the Hikone Clan) and Matsudaira family (the Takamatsu Clan). Shigenobu Okuma remodeled the garden into semi-Western style. He placed a vast lawn, artificial hills, and ponds, and grew melons in a hothouse for the first time in Japan. After the death of Okuma, it was donated to Waseda University. Although it suffered serious damage in the air raid of 1945, it was almost restored and now is a recreation place for students. Open 11:00-16:00 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday during school term, April to December |
