Kyū-Furukawa Gardens  This mansion was built by Baron Toranosuke Furukawa, which includes a western-style building and a western-style garden, and a Japanese-style garden. The western-style building and western-style gardens were completed in 1917, which were designed by English architect Josiah Conder (1852-1920). Conder was called "father of Japanese modern architecture" and also designed Rokumeikan and Kyu-Iwasaki-tei Garden, Holy Resurrection Cathedral. And the Japanese garden was completed in 1919, which was designed by Japanese-gardener Ogawa Jihei VII. Baron Furukawa was the owner of Furukawa zaibatu which owned Ashio copper mine . The outlook of the building is completely Western-style, and the ground floor rooms are also western-style, but the second floor rooms are mostly in Japanese style with tatami matless. The mansion is built on a steep slope of Musashino Terrace. The building is located on the top of a hill, western-garden on the slope, and Japanese garden on the bottom. The western garden is a complex of Italian style and geometric French style rose garden. On the bottom of the western garden is a Rhododendron plantation which harmonise the western geometric garden and non geometric Japanese garden. The Japanese garden is surrounded by a deep forest. The Western building and garden are hidden by tall trees. In the centre of the stroll garden is an artificial pond called "Shin- ji- ike" which means "Heart letter pond", because its pattern is designed by Kanji "心(Shin)" which means heart. Around the pond are Tōrōs (stone lanterns), artificial hill, water falls, islands, and a tea ceremony house. The park in its current state was opened to the public in 1956. General admission is 150 yen. The park is open daily until 5 PM. It is a quick walk from Kami-Nakazato Station on the JR Keihin-Tōhoku Line or Nishigahara Station on the Tokyo Metro Nanboku Line
