The "Arashiyama Yusai-tei" is a 150-year-old Meiji-era building located on the site of Kameyama-den, the villa of retired Emperors Go Saga and Kameyama, which was built about 800 years ago.Formerly known as the gourmet inn "Chidori", it is the dream place of Kyoto maiko and geisha, and is also famous as the place where Nobel Prize winner in literature Yasunari Kawabata stayed and wrote "The Sound of the Mountain".Arashiyama in Kyoto, where Yusai-tei is located, has been famous as a scenic spot since the Heian period and is also the filming location of The Tale of Genji. The nobles at that time had villas here and enjoyed the beautiful changes of the four seasons by boating. The scenery of each season was written into poems, and the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu was born.Looking out from the round window of Yusai-tei, the Katsura River still shimmers with jade color, inviting you to the world of 1,200 years ago.Inside the historic building, the works of the owner Yusai are exhibited. He created a unique dyeing technique called "Dream Color Dyeing" that changes color according to light, and it is well received not only in Japan but also abroad. European and Asian countries I am here.Please relax and enjoy the beauty of Japan's nature and space that changes with the seasons, as well as the unique worldview art.
