Saga Arashiyama has been loved by aristocrats and cultural figures since ancient times.
This museum is a museum that conveys the history and charm of Hyakunin Isshu, which is said to have originated in this area, as well as the essence of Japanese painting.Climb the stone steps, pass through the Kanmokumon gate, and step into the rock garden where you can enjoy the beauty of the four seasons: weeping cherry blossoms in the spring, azaleas in the early summer, red leaves in the fall, and snow caps in the winter.
The view from the second floor is like the world of a Japanese painting, with Mt. Ogura, which is associated with Hyakunin Isshu, in the background, and Arashiyama and the Oi River, which have been famous scenic spots since ancient times, as borrowed scenery.
We offer exciting exhibitions each season so that everyone can enjoy the beauty of Japan and its beautiful nature.You can also use it only for cafes and shops.
