Highlights: The former princess's residence boasts a breathtaking Art Deco interior with stained glass, intricate metalwork, and vibrant murals, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. You can almost imagine royalty strolling through these opulent rooms, untouched by time.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as you'll be doing a lot of walking between the buildings and gardens.
- The outdoor gardens offer many picturesque spots for photography, especially around the fountain and traditional Japanese elements.
- If short on time, prioritize the West Wing (former princess's residence) for its stunning Art Deco architecture.
