Visit Mastumoto

Ikegami Hyakuchikutei is the former residence of Mr. Kisaku Ikegami, a kimono merchant who lived from the Meiji to Showa eras, and a place where he cultivated deep connections with many cultural figures. It consists of traditional Japanese rooms and a tea room that convey Japanese tradition, along with a bamboo grove garden. Today, it serves as a place for learning and exchange. Stepping

onto the grounds, the refreshing scent of bamboo rises.Walking through the garden path, your mind quiets and settles, guiding you into a world of contemplation that transcends time. Sitting in the Japanese-style room, the warmth of the old building materials touches your skin, and you can sense the traces of countless conversations with cultural figures, etched into the walls and pillars.Within the tea room, the essence of Japanese culture breathes amidst the quiet sounds of tea preparation. The view of the bamboo grove from the engawa veranda changes with each visiting season, revealing a beauty where nature and human culture harmoniously blend. A place

where cultural figures gathered. When visiting Matsumoto, please experience the spirit of Japanese tradition and exchange at this residence.
