Numazu Imperial Villa Memorial Park
A Landscape Shaped by Imperial Palace Architecture and Nature
The "Numazu Imperial Villa Memorial Park" was originally established in the Meiji era as a retreat for the Imperial Family and is now cherished as a peaceful public garden. Within its spacious grounds stands the "West Annex," an example of court architecture that remains open for viewing, offering a glimpse into the refined lifestyle of the period. Seasonal and cultural exhibitions are held throughout the year, while "Kissa Shume"—preserving the atmosphere of Meiji-era living—serves dishes inspired by historical recipes, including curry and seasonal specialties available only at the villa. The landscape befitting a summer retreat, such as the coastal black pine grove and the view toward Mount Fuji, has earned portions of the grounds designation as a National Place of Scenic Beauty.
