The reinforced concrete building next to Minato-no-mieru-oka Koen Park used to be the British Consular Residence in Yokohama. It was built in 1937. Various kinds of roses and other flowers adorn the premises throughout the year. A wide porte-cochere is stately and beautiful. The Christmas decorations inside the residence are quite refined. I also love the elegant interiors of this residence. An index of this series is here.

As I recall the roses are really amazing, and you can spend an hour or two just walking around discovering them all. From memory they also allow the public to use the facility -- I think my kids did a piano recital there a few years ago.
