An experience that conveys the area's millennial history
The myriad cultures and natural nurtured by the thousand-year-old capital have also been inherited in Arashiyama. It is reflected in the 24 solar terms and 72 pentas, Japanese microseasons, and continues to preserve the delicacy of the sense of the seasons that Japanese people cherish both now and in the past.
Having a tasteful space all to yourself
In Arashiyama, various types of cherry blossoms adorn the spring season. At the back of the premises, a renowned weeping cherry tree blooms, creating an exceptional space. Special seats surrounded by cherry blossoms unique to this occasion will be provided.
Summer tones of Kyoto
The Gion Festival is a summer tradition in Kyoto. Similar to the "Yamahoko Junko" (the grand procession of floats) parading through the city in hopes of ridding it of calamity, a houseboat carrying the "Hayashikata," referring to traditional Japanese musicians, sails up the Oi River, with the sound reverberating through the Rankyo Gorge.
In a brilliant and colorful autumn landscape
In "Hidden Garden", a 400-year-old giant maple tree changes color as if reflecting the scene of "The Tale of Genji" (a classic work of Japanese literature). The scene overlaps with the scene where Heian nobles performed their elegant traditional dance.
Eagerly waiting for spring
The season of "Usui" (around February 18th) marks the transition from snowfall to rain, signifying the beginning of snowmelt. In a winter landscape as picturesque as an ink painting, flowers are arranged to symbolize the budding world view, allowing you to experience the transition between the end of winter and the onset of spring.
