Tenkyokaku is a Western-style residence in the French Renaissance style built between 1907 and 1908 as a summer villa for Prince Arisugawa Takehito in Inawashiro, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan. The three-story wooden building features an octagonal tower and interior elements including a billiard room and marble details that blend Western aesthetics with some Japanese building techniques. It is owned by Fukushima Prefecture, was designated an Important Cultural Property of Japan in 1979, and has been open to the public since 1982.
