Return to 19^th and Early 20^th Century Nikko – Breathtaking Scenery with Tea and Scones from the British Embassy Villa Memorial Park

The British Embassy Villa Memorial Park is a gorgeous place, where travelers can immerse themselves in both the lake's natural beauty and its history. When Japan first opened to the modern world, the area surrounding Lake Chuzenji became a desirable summer resort location for foreigners. Here, several embassies located their summer residences, and some foreigners built summer retreats. One building inside the park was constructed as a private residence for Ernest Satow, a British diplomat who greatly influenced Japanese history. Later, it became the British embassy villa. In 2016, after 120 years, the facility opened as the Former British Embassy Villa. Here tea and scones (and other cakes) are served to visitors look out in awe at the presence of the Lake, Mountains, and sky.
