Japanese Kominka Style Shop in Ohara
ScrollOhara, located at the northern base of Mt. Hiei in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto, is a serene countryside surrounded by beautiful mountains, where the idyllic rural landscape has been preserved.
Ohara boasts numerous historic sites, including the ancient nunnery "Jakkoin Temple" with over 1400 years of history and the prestigious Tendai sect temple "Sanzenin". It has long been known as a place of retreat for nobles and devotees seeking solace away from the bustling city, with dignified temples and its ever-changing natural beauty throughout the seasons that have always been a source of healing and inspiration for people's hearts.
Among them, the garden of Sanzenin Temple is the most famous scenic spot in Ohara. With velvety moss covering the ground, the garden presents an enigmatic charm that transforms with the seasons and weather, showcasing cherry blossoms, hydrangeas, autumn foliage, and snow, making it a place of endless fascination.
This time, we'd like to introduce a shop designed with a traditional Japanese Komika-style, situated near the entrance to Sanzenin Temple adorned by a tunnel of vibrant autumn foliage. This property is recommended for those seeking a shop catering to domestic and international tourists, or for those who wish to start a business in this scenic land.
