The location is believed to be the site of Emperor Kanmu's Oi Imperial Villa, which he frequently visited during his reign (781-806), as referenced in "Nihon Kiryaku." (An excavation conducted on our premises in 1988 uncovered remains of a garden from the early Heian period, suggesting a high possibility that this was the site of Emperor Kanmu's Oi Imperial Villa.) In "The Tale of Genji," Chapter 18 "Matsukaze," written in the mid-Heian period, a residence near the Oi River serves as the setting. This residence is described as being located "nearby Oigawa," and it is believed to have been modeled after Emperor Kanmu's Oi Imperial Villa.

"Flower" is described in the "Kaden-sho" as the essence of art that evokes emotion in the viewer and makes them want to return. When people encounter something unexpected, they are surprised and moved. Even if the appearance is modest, the subtle and thoughtful effort to inspire emotion in others is considered the true essence of "hidden beauty is the flower."Our Property embraces a part of the teachings from the "Kaden-sho" as our philosophy of hospitality and way of being. With this in mind, we have named our establishment "Kyoto Arashiyama Onsen Kaden-sho." We strive daily to provide our guests with moments of joy and inspiration.
