Constructed in 1945, no-one is quite sure who commissioned the Kyūtei Omuro (旧邸御室) or what purpose it served.
The sukiya-style (数寄屋造り) mansion sits in a sprawling 1655m2 parcel of land, and given its proximity to Ninna-ji (仁和寺) many believe there was some sort of connection.
In the villa's sitting room is a low table made from a single piece of Chinese quince.
The polished surface perfectly captures the reflection of the lush green garden outside, bringing the cool shade of the trees into the room.

For a very brief moment each year Kyūtei Omuro (旧邸御室), an old villa close to Ninna-ji, is open to the public.
It is famed for a table!🤔🪞🌿
It is thought that Omuro-zakura (御室桜) originated in Heian times.
The current cherry trees were planted in the early Edo period (江戸時代), shortly after Tokugawa Iemitsu (徳川家光 1604-51) helped rebuild the temple.
Reaching their peak (typically) around mid-April, the temple's groves of cherry trees are the last to bloom within the city.
Known as 'Omuro-zakura' (御室桜), Ninna-ji's trees are uniquely stunted, growing to only around 2m tall. They are a variant of 'sato-zakura' (郷さくら).
