Unique Experience

The pleasure of playing in this house has lasted for a long time.
Named "Chorakukan" by Hirobumi Ito, the first Prime Minister of Japan, it is a pavilion for guests and socializing.
The same hospitality and historical atmosphere as in the past. A time that can only be experienced here.

Onari no Ma, Chorakuan (usually closed to the public)

In front of you is a view of the Higashiyama Mountains that changes with the seasons and serves as a borrowed landscape. At a time when it was common to have Japanese and Western-style buildings coexist in separate buildings, Kichihei Murai's bold architectural approach of incorporating a Japanese-style room into a Western-style building still surprises visitors. Normally closed to the public, the building is open to guests on request.
