Fun facts
The Western-style residence was built in 1929 for the 16th Marquis, Toshinari Maeda, and was designed to withstand earthquakes.
The Japanese-style garden annex was added in 1930 to host overseas visitors, as the Marquis served as a military attaché to Great Britain.
From the end of World War II until 1957, the mansion was requisitioned by SCAP and served as a residence for US Air Force generals.
