Former Chikurin-in is one of the many historical remains of Sakamoto, Otsu City. Earlier it was a satobo or home for monks, In the beginning of Meiji-era, Chikurin-in was sold to ordinary people and used as private villa, now a calm and peaceful sight seeing place. In the past, masters of all tea schools would gather here in order to enjoy tea together. There are two tea ceremony houses and an arbor designated as the cultural assets of Otsu City, where visitors can partake of matcha. The garden area of about 3,300 sq. meter makes it a beautiful natural atmosphere. The water of Omiya river streaming through fresh green trees and attractive moss produces a wonderful environment.

One of the several attractions in this ancient town of Sakamoto. Used to be a Buddhist monk's inn but now nationally registered garden open to the public.
