    Kyoto Yawatashi Yawata Ominaeshi 43-1
    This garden art museum is associated with Shokado Shojo, who was the priest of Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine in Yawata City, Kyoto Prefecture in the beginning of the Edo period (1603-1868). Works tied to Shojo are on display. In addition, the Shokado Garden is where you can enjoy cultural assets that are national historical sites and scenic spots such as Soan Shokado and Izumi-bo Shoin along with the scenery of the four seasons. Also known as the birthplace of the Shokado Bento lunch box, you can eat it while watching the garden from Kyoto Kitcho Shokado Store on site.

    松花堂弁当の名前の由来となった庭園。今でも園内に料亭「吉兆」があって、予約をすれば松花堂弁当が食べられる。庭園は内園と外園に分かれているが、内園は2018年の地震で影響を受け、現在修復中で見学できない。それにしても修復に時間がかかり過ぎている気がする。内園の主な見所は、いくつかある茶室。そのほか美術館もある。

Its wooden tea houses, shuffling geisha, and spiritual sights have seen Kyoto hailed as the heart of traditional Japan, a world apart from ultramodern Tokyo. Despite being the Japanese capital for over a century, Kyoto escaped destruction during World War II, leaving behind a fascinating history which can be felt at every turn, from the fully gold-plated Kinkakuji Temple down to traditional customs such as geisha performances and tea ceremonies, which are still practiced to this day.
