Experience Both Japanese and Western Styles at “Rokkaen”

For Western attire, take photos with the elegant Western-style mansion and lush greenery as your backdrop.
For traditional Japanese attire, the tea room and garden offer the perfect setting.

A vast, open sky stretches above, creating a refreshing and liberating atmosphere.

In this spacious area with crisp, clean air, a Western-style mansion stands side by side with traditional Japanese architecture.

Capture romantic moments in wedding dress and tuxedo against the Western mansion,
then switch to traditional attire for timeless shots in the Japanese garden and tea room.

The Western mansion, designed by the British architect Josiah Conder, stands harmoniously next to Japanese-style buildings.
Both Western and Japanese wedding outfits can be beautifully matched with the setting.

Outdoor photography is also possible in Rokkaen’s lush Japanese garden, also designed by Conder.
The unique charm of Rokkaen lies in its striking contrast—where you can enjoy both Western and Japanese atmospheres in one location.

A Fusion of East and West

Rokkaen is the only location where facilities suited for both Western and Japanese styles are situated right next to each other.
With minimal travel required between scenes, it is an ideal location for couples who wish to capture both looks in one photoshoot.

Though located in Mie Prefecture, it’s just about an hour’s drive from Nagoya.

Places where you can shoot in a Western mansion with a wedding dress are rare—apart from the Nagoya City Archives—
making Rokkaen highly recommended for those who want to capture that classic Western atmosphere.
