Hello. Today I will inform you a new sightseeing spot in Kyoto.
This spot opened about 4 years ago,
it is rare for foreign tourists to visit.
There is the Higashi-yama mountain at the East side of Kyoto.

Seiryu-den on top of this mountain
is a pleasant out-of-the-way spot in Kyoto.

Special point is you can watch nice panoramic view of Kyoto from here.

 

This wooden building has been relocated here from Kyoto city.
Before, it was used as a Kendo and Judo training hall.

The hall which combines Western and Japanese styles of architecture.
