01LOCATION

Easy access to an extraordinary space

Higashiyama retains a strong sense of the atmosphere of the ancient capital. It is easily accessible, about 10 minutes from Kyoto Station. This place, with its 6,690m2 garden filled with lush greenery, was once Higashiyama Sodo, the private residence of the great Japanese painter Takeuchi Seiho. The view from the vast grounds is a spectacular location that represents Kyoto and captivates all who visit.

02STORY

Takeuchi Seiho's former private residence next to Yasaka Pagoda

Takeuchi Seiho, who was praised alongside Yokoyama Taikan and was known as "Taikaku of the East, Seiho of the West," had a style of painting that pursued the essence of life-like sketching, which was rare in Japanese painting at the time, and Seiho, who traveled to Europe to study painting, incorporated the interior design he found there into his own mansion. The retro-modern mansion, filled with the artist's attention to detail, was brought back to life as a wedding stage, where wedding dresses and Japanese clothing were displayed in vivid colors.

03FOOD

Memorable hospitality with flavor

We are particular about seasonal flavors, focusing on Kyoto vegetables, and the delicate taste, temperature, aroma, and beauty of the ingredients themselves. We propose a wedding course that allows you to feel the four seasons of Kyoto, changing the menu four times a year. It is easy to eat with chopsticks, and is enjoyed by a wide range of age groups, from children to elderly guests.

04WEDDING DRESSES

Become a beautiful bride with the dress of your dreams

When you find the perfect dress that will bring out the best in you, you will become the pretty and beautiful bride that everyone dreams of. The Treat Dressing dresses will make all of a bride's wishes come true.

[Chapel/Public Ceremony]

Delivering your thoughts to your loved ones
A special day for the two of you without any pretense

They've been married for 4 years, but they thought they didn't need to have a wedding because they missed the timing. But their parents said to them, "It'll be a keepsake, so why don't you just hold a wedding ceremony?", and they decided to have a wedding...

VOICEReviews from former brides

There are three ceremony venues and six reception halls.
It has a sophisticated atmosphere that suits both Japanese and Western clothing. I don't think there is any other venue in Kyoto with a better atmosphere. Taxis can be parked at the entrance to the venue. It seems that the schedule is managed so that wedding ceremonies do not clash. The old, magnificent townhouse and the beautiful garden on the very large grounds create an extraordinary atmosphere. The space is charming, the food is delicious, and the hospitality from the planner was polite. I'm already very excited and glad that I chose this venue.

The chapel has a lovely atmosphere with greenery and a waterfall visible from the windows. It was also designed to allow natural light to shine on the bride and groom. The reception hall was spacious and let in natural light from the windows. The outside is Japanese-style, but the inside is Western-style, so you're sure to be amazed! There is also an open kitchen, so you'll be excited to see the food being served. The deciding factors for this venue were the overwhelming atmosphere, location, and food.

As it is in Higashiyama, Kyoto, the streets are paved with stone, and Kodaiji Temple, Kiyomizu-dera Temple, and Yasaka Shrine are nearby. This means that guests can enjoy sightseeing in Kyoto in addition to the wedding ceremony and reception, which I think will satisfy them. It is also close to Kyoto Station, and there is a shuttle bus, so access is good. What I liked most of all was the backdrop of the bride and groom's seats. From the large windows, you can see Yasaka Pagoda, and the scenery of autumn leaves and fresh greenery was very memorable.
