Useful information

Description

Facing the Higashiyama range, this imperial residence built in the 16C on the site of the Shugaku temple is made up of numerous villas and teahouses. Divided into different pavilions, three villas are built on a 40m-high slope set in a 28-ha park. The upper villa is the most interesting: its "pavilion near a cloud" commands a fine vantage point of Yokuryuchi lake and its teahouse, Kyusui-tei, standing majestically in the centre of the lake.
