Nikko Tamozawa Imperial Villa set up in 1899 is the only Imperial villa constructed at the Meiji era, which has been left as for the main part. The purchase negotiation of the site started in 1896, and construction was begun in January 1899. Main building of this villa was composed of the removing and reconstructing building from Akasaka Detached Palace, the existing building, and the newly built building. Nevertheless, construction was completed in a surprising short term. Though a lot of workmen were mobilized to the construction, It was only several engineers in the Imperial Works Bureau of Department of the Imperial Household who managed construction and supervised them.
