Other Historic Site/Building
This study and tearoom is said to be where the late Edo Period Confucian scholar Rai Sanyo spent his later years. The open and well-lit room features an excellent view of Kyoto's eastern mountains.

    広島から京都に上京した文学者といったところです。日本外史は幕末の志士の愛読書、実際は史実から離れた作品ですがそれを知らない当時の人々は熱狂したそうです。今でいうと水戸黄門が日本全国を巡り悪代官を退治する、これを本当にあったことだと夢中に見る視聴者と同じですね。入るには予約が必要です。

    丸太町通の歩道上に「国指定史蹟 頼山陽書齋山紫水明處 此ノ北右側」と刻まれた石柱が目に入り、指示通りに進んでみました。実際の山紫水明處は民家の間に挟まれて知らないと通り過ぎてしまいそうでしたが、幸いにも入口前には石柱が立っていました。猶、見学には事前予約が必要でした。
