This villa was constructed as a retreat and guesthouse by the businessman Izaemon Nishikawa, who established a leading silk-reeling company in the Kita-tama area. Built sometime between the Taisho period and the beginning of the Showa period, when the sericulture and silk reeling industries in the area were at their peak, it is made of carefully selected high-quality materials.
