Built on the site of the former residence of Yoshiro Taniguchi, a renowned architect from Kanazawa, this museum focuses on architecture and urban design. It was designed by his son, the world-famous architect Yoshio Taniguchi. Highlights include a faithful reproduction of the hall and tea room from "Yushin-tei" (the Japanese-style annex of the Akasaka Palace), one of Yoshiro's masterpieces, allowing visitors to enjoy a serene space overlooking a water garden.
