Local Pick
Overview
Meiji-era naturalistic garden by Ogawa Jihei with Higashiyama borrowed scenery.
A masterpiece of Meiji-era naturalistic garden design by legendary gardener Ogawa Jihei VII, using borrowed scenery of the Higashiyama mountains. Unlike formal Zen gardens, Murin-an flows with streams fed by Lake Biwa Canal water, creating a lush, open landscape that feels like a private countryside retreat in the heart of Kyoto.
Local tips
Book a private garden viewing session through their website for a quiet 20 minutes alone in the garden with matcha. The upstairs room where the pre-Russo-Japanese War conference took place is also open to visitors.
