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.
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.

Even though it dates from nearly 800 years ago, everyone in Japan is familiar with the Hyakunin Isshu anthology. Encountered at school, it also lives on in karuta, a popular game played with cards. Working nearby, poet and literary scholar Fujiwara no Teika (1162-1241) carefully sorted this enduring collection of 100 outstanding poems by 100 poets. While pondering which poems to select, Teika is believed to have resided, a little farther up Mt. Ogura from this museum, in a villa the site of which is marked by a monument in the grounds of Nison-in Temple. Now, in a special exhibition, the museum will be showing poet portraits and waka-poem calligraphy, including verses from Hyakunin Isshu.

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.

Maruyama Ōkyo (1733–1795), best known for his charming paintings of puppies, was a great artist who fostered many disciples and laid the groundwork for what we recognize today as "Nihonga" (Japanese painting).
This exhibition will feature works by Maruyama Ōkyo and his direct disciples such as Nagasawa Rosetsu, along with an unprecedented 40 newly discovered works by Ōkyo's grand-disciple, Yano Yachō.
This is a must-see exhibition for Edo painting enthusiasts. The exhibition is organized into three periods.
