1 兼六町 Kanazawa, Ishikawa 920-0936, Japan
Tucked within the Kenroku-en grounds, the Seison-kaku Villa is one of Kanazawa’s most exquisite and undervisited attractions. Built in 1863 by the 13th Maeda lord as a retirement home for his widowed mother, the villa combines Japanese and Dutch (Oranda) architectural styles in a way that is entirely unique - Dutch stained glass, Indian-influenced ceiling panels, and Chinese-influenced lacquerwork sit alongside traditional Japanese tatami rooms and sliding screen paintings.
The Seison-kaku is often overlooked because visitors exhaust themselves in Kenroku-en - but the extra ¥700 and 30 min are absolutely worth it. The Dutch stained glass windows are remarkable objects in a 19th-century Japanese villa.
