Gakuroku-Suien proudly received the prestigious "LIVING SPACE - ASIA PACIFIC 2023" award from Design et al., a testament to its exceptional design and innovation in the field.
The owner family is a storied lineage that has been a beacon of the Fujikawaguchiko region's culture for an impressive 500 years.
Gakuroku Suien features a main house recognized as a tangible cultural property, complemented by a Nagayamon gate designated as a cultural treasure of the town.
The house has stood for over 200 years, showcasing a historical architectural style that has been meticulously safeguarded. Yet, it has now reached a critical point where comprehensive repairs are essential, far exceeding what simple maintenance can provide.
This two-year renovation project is driven by two powerful goals: to restore the 200-year-old house and gate as cultural properties and to undertake significant renovations to create a luxurious rental villa. The rich history ingrained in this house will be interwoven with these stories, allowing us to present a compelling narrative about this incredible initiative.
