A Tangible Cultural Property blending eclectic Japanese-Western architecture with a Shoin-zukuri Japanese garden.
Yamamoto-tei is a stately residence blending modern Japanese architecture and a pure Japanese garden.
While the residence is a classic modern Japanese house, its formal Japanese drawing room (Zashiki) draws inspiration from traditional styles of architecture, such as Shoin-zukuri or Sukiya-zukuri. The Zashiki is arranged as one with the garden, bearing striking present-day features. These include bright spaces with surrounding windows, removable or sliding room fittings, and lighting fixtures.
To protect this valuable heritage, Katsushika City registered and designated the residence as a Tangible Cultural Property, opening it to the public in 1991.
A must-see feature of Yamamoto-tei is the lush green Shoin-zukuri style garden. Although the property is not large, it is designed to give a sense of depth. This very special environment almost makes you forget that you are in the middle of Tokyo.
For a fee, tea and sweets are also available at Yamamoto-tei. Enjoy matcha, coffee and traditional desserts such as “shiratama zenzai”, a sweet red bean soup served with mochi. Experience an extraordinary moment of time slowing down, far removed from everyday life.

點一杯冷飲配上日式小茶點，靜靜的座著欣賞和室庭園優美景色，感覺世界上的一切是如此的美好
因为买了和寅次郎纪念馆，山田洋次纪念馆的套票所以就进来看看。没想到在充满下町风情的老街上还有这么一座美丽的日式庭院。和风建筑中巧妙地融入西洋的建筑特征，觉得是一种带有时髦风范的日式庭院建筑。在日式庭院里我最喜欢的就是那种古朴而又典雅的大红色调和绿意的对照，铺在游廊里的红地毯和周围的绿色相映相衬非常漂亮。
「山本亭」就在寅次郎記念館的隔壁，從題經寺走路5分鐘就可以到達，建築本身除了融合了傳統日式和西洋建築風格是百年的和洋風建築，庭園中央的有六間花、月、星、風、雪、鳥和室其中最具代表西洋風格的就是鳳凰之間，坐在榻榻米上欣賞著日式庭園看著池塘、流水，樹木⋯⋯好像一幅巨型的山水畫，身心靈都沉澱了起來
