The City Where This Venue Is Located (Kyotanabe City)
Kyotanabe City is a town where nature and history coexist in harmony. Known as one of Japan’s leading producers of “Gyokuro,” a premium tea, the city has nurtured a rich history and culture, home to landmarks such as “Shuon-an Ikkyu-ji”—affectionately known as “Ikkyu’s Temple”—and “Daigodo Kannon-ji,” which houses the National Treasure, the Standing Eleven-Faced Kannon Statue. It is also a vibrant city home to Doshisha University. In April of Reiwa 8, the “Spiral View Terrace,” designed by world-renowned architect Kengo Kuma, was completed on Mount Kananbi. We invite you to experience the charm of Kyotanabe—a blend of traditional elegance and modern appeal.

Uji City is located halfway between Kyoto and Nara, borders cities such as Otsu in Shiga Prefecture, and offers easy access to both Kyoto and Osaka.
