A Hall of a Hundred Mats

Below are a reception room and several Japanese rooms; upstairs is a great hall of 100 mats including its matted corridor, with a large alcove, staggered shelves and a built-in writing desk (Agency for Cultural Affairs).
Why It Was Registered
The Agency notes that fine timber creates a high-quality space, and registered it for its contribution to the historic landscape.
