The villa complex includes several traditional Japanese buildings, including a main house, a tea house, and various other structures, all set within meticulously landscaped gardens. The gardens offer stunning views of the surrounding mountains and the city of Kyoto, particularly beautiful during the cherry blossom season and autumn foliage.
