About

Arashiyama, Kyoto — Surrounded by the Beauty of Japan

Up the stone stairway and through the wooden gate, the rock garden awaits. Whether it is the cherry tree in spring, Satsuki azaleas in early summer, dazzling colored leaves in autumn, or snow-capped peaks in winter, you can delight in the beauty of every season here.
It is located near Mount Ogura, the birth place of "One Hundred Poems," and the scenery from the second floor which incorporates Arashiyama and Oi River is as a fine piece of Japanese Painting.
Looking out onto the garden is our café, Arashiyama OMOKAGE Terrace. Relax and relish the atmosphere of Kyoto in the open and airy space. After a cup of Kyoto Coffee or Maccha Latte, don't miss the museum shop where you can find unique products and books related with the exhibitions.

Café

We have a café "Arashiyama OMOKAGE Terrace" at the terrace facing the stone garden. The open-air space allows you to relax and enjoy the atmosphere of Arashiyama.

Open 10:00 - 17:00
(last order 16:30)

Take-out available
(*Some items on the menu are not available for take-out)

Exhibitions

Current Exhibition

Haiku and Haiga: The Charisma of Two Poets, Bashō and Buson

2024.10.12 - 2025.01.19

When haiku is mentioned, the names Matsuo Bashō and Yosa Buson probably spring to mind. This exhibition introduces a number of outstanding works of haiku and haiga (paintings depicted together with haiku), including the "Furuikeya" tanzaku strip (famous frog poem), which was handwritten by Bashō himself, the the Manuscript Scroll of Nozaraishi Kikō [Weather-beaten Bones Travelogue] also written and illustrated by himself, and the "Ikaidashi no" (haiku and painting) written and handpainted by Buson. This exhibition is a fitting tribute to Arashiyama, a place associated with these two charismatic figures.

Permanent Exhibition

Hyakunin Isshu History

2017.10.01 - 2026.03.31

Hyakunin Isshu is an anthology of 100 poems by 100 poets. It was collected here in Saga Arashiyama 800 years ago by Fujiwara no Teika, who carefully selected each of the short waka poems. A permanent exhibition at Saga Arashiyama Museum of Art and Culture conveys the charm, and tells the history, of Hyakunin Isshu.

*The museum is closed during the exhibition changeover period for special exhibitions and is not open for permanent exhibitions only. Please be aware of this in advance.
