[Amazing indoor scenery that can be enjoyed even in the rain] The breathtaking view of "Water Mirror" 🌿💧✨ *Includes tourist information for the surrounding area

Yusaitei in Arashiyama, Kyoto, is a beautiful space surrounded by the nature of Sagano, known only to those in the know. Especially during the season of new green leaves, the interior and garden are enveloped in fresh greenery, and the spectacular "water mirror" that is created in the midst of it all invites visitors into a fantastical world. Why not come and experience the miraculous art of nature, light, and water? Overview Yusaitei was originally a historic inn where Yasunari Kawabata is said to have stayed. It is currently open to the public as the atelier and gallery of dye artist Yusai Okuda, and its charm lies in the space that combines unique dyeing techniques with the beauty of nature. In particular, the "water mirror," where the surface of the water on the table reflects the surrounding scenery, shines even more during the season of new green leaves, captivating the viewer.
