A cottage getaway owned by former Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone in a small town in western Tokyo has been converted to a memorial hall to commemorate the summit Nakasone held with U.S. President Ronald Reagan there in 1983.

The bonds forged between the two leaders in the mountains of Hinode led to their famous “Ron-and-Yasu” relationship.

“This was an important place for me to bolster my spirits by looking into the blue sky quietly and wandering through nearby lanes,” [Nakasone said at a ceremony to mark the opening of the hall].

The house will be open to the public every Sunday, and visitors can view the tearoom where Ron and Yasu held talks, and the living room where Nakasone performed tea ceremony for Ronald and Nancy Reagan.
