Constructed in 1945, no-one is quite sure who commissioned the Kyūtei Omuro (旧邸御室) or what purpose it served.

The sukiya-style (数寄屋造り) mansion sits in a sprawling 1655m2 parcel of land, and given its proximity to Ninna-ji (仁和寺) many believe there was a connection.

@camelliakyoto I am a bit jealous, it looks like a Studio Ghibli film.

@camelliakyoto Fantastic. I saw a table like that in a Buddhist monastery.

In 1969 the residence was owned by Abe Kihee (阿部喜兵衛), the 4th generation director of a saké brewing company.
He sold it to Yamamoto Mitsuo (山本三夫), father of the current owner Murata Akiyo (村田章代). Mitsuo was the founder of Yamasan sawmill (山三製材所).
