Yōki-sō (揚輝荘) is a Japanese villa and gardens located in Chikusa-ku, Nagoya, central Japan. It is close to Nittai-ji temple.
The grounds were built for Itō Suketami (1878-1940), the president of the Matsuzakaya Company, from the 1910s to the 1930s. A number of historic structures throughout Japan that were endangered were acquired by him, disassembled, transported and reassembled on his property. During the bombing of Nagoya in World War II in March 1945, a number of structures were destroyed.
Most of those that have remained have been designated as Tangible Cultural Property by the city. Parts of the estate were sold off so the property is now divided in two halves. The grounds today are administered by a non-profit organisation.
