The Italian Embassy Villa Memorial Park is open from April 1 through Nov. 30 (closed Mondays except June 1 through Oct. 31). Visitors should not miss the permanent exhibit, in the former annex, about Nikko’s history as a summer resort for the international community; it includes a 1929 film showing foreign diplomats and their families frolicking on and in the lake. From the villa’s pier, which extends many yards into Lake Chuzenji, the panoramic views — of the rippling water and majestic mountains on one side; of Raymond’s exquisite villa on the other — are unforgettable in any season.

イタリア大使館別荘記念公園は4月1日から11月30日まで開園(月曜休、ただし6月~10月は無休)。ぜひ、別館の国際避暑地歴史館もいっしょに訪れたい。こちらには、外交官たちとその家族が湖中や湖上で余暇を過ごすようすをとらえた1929年の映像展示もある。中禅寺湖に長く突き出した桟橋に立てば、片方にさざ波を立てる湖面と壮麗な山々、もう片方にアントニン・レーモンドによる美しい別荘を望み、季節を問わず忘れられないパノラマを楽しむことができるだろう。
