Explanation
Quoted from a press release
The answer is the Yodoko Guest House! Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and completed in 1924, it was built as a vacation home for Tazaemon Yamamura VIII, a sake brewer from Nada.

Yuki Uchida first visited the building in 2021 while filming TV Tokyo’s “Shin Bi no Kyojintachi”. She seems to love it so much that she now visits several times a year in her private time!
In an interview with “Grasp,” a magazine published by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, she said, “My favorite right now is the Yodoko Guest House.” More recently, she reportedly talked about it on the July 5 episode of “Totsuzen Desu ga Uranatte mo Ii Desu ka?” (currently streaming on TVer) too!
