Beneath this tall, straight pine stretching toward the sky, wedding portraits become a symbol of the bond between bride and groom.

Hand in hand, hearts connected.
The photos taken here radiate warmth—portraits you’ll want to frame and treasure.

Nestled within a quiet residential neighborhood, the stately estate of  Touzansou carries both elegance and serenity.

Originally built as a riverside villa in Mizuho Ward, Nagoya, it was named “Touzansou” after the Itō family villa.
Following the will of its owner—who wished for it to be opened to the public—it was donated to the city of Nagoya and has since been enjoyed by all.

The main gate and surrounding walls are truly magnificent, blending the grandeur of a former villa with the refined charm of a modern Japanese garden.

Thanks to its tranquil residential setting, the area is quiet and uncrowded, making it a comfortable and welcoming place even for parents and grandparents.

Visitors are encouraged to enjoy not only the residence itself but also the surrounding scenery.
