The main castle of the Hojo. The outer earthworks built in preparation for Hideyoshi's attack on Odawara survive.
Engakuji Shariden
Rafters radiating like a fan and densely packed brackets - the perfected form of Zen-style architecture from China.

One of Yokohama's three towers, built by public subscription, its stairwell filled with stained glass.

Western Houses of Yamate
Seven Western houses on the old foreign settlement hill, including work by Antonin Raymond.
Japan Open-Air Folk House Museum
Twenty-five farmhouses from across Japan, re-sited to suit the terrain - from steep gassho roofs to a boatman's hut.
Matsunaga Memorial Hall
The villa and tea house of the utilities magnate Matsunaga, its sukiya detailing intact with the garden.
Fujiya Hotel
One of Japan's oldest resort hotels: temple roofs over Western interiors, each room named and carved for a flower.
Former Yoshida Shigeru Residence
Rebuilt from drawings after a fire; Isoya Yoshida's sukiya architecture, seen as the stage of postwar politics.
Villas of Oiso
A seaside town where Meiji statesmen built rival villas, each composed around the relation of garden to sea.
