What is Hyakurakuso?
Hyakurakuso is a Japanese restaurant located in a quiet setting on the hills of Tomio, on the western outskirts of Nara City. Set within a 33,000-square-meter garden, there are 10 detached buildings, each with its own unique charm, where you can enjoy a variety of seasonal flowering trees, including cherry blossoms, azaleas, maples, camellias, and plum blossoms. While surrounded by the chirping of birds echoing through the beautiful garden, you can dine on the chef's signature kaiseki cuisine, which is refreshed daily.

At Hyakurakuso, you can enjoy a variety of flowering trees that change with the seasons, including cherry blossoms, azaleas, autumn leaves, camellias, and plum blossoms. The food you can enjoy while looking out at the beautiful garden is exceptional. The charm of Hyakurakuso is that you'll want to visit again and again depending on the season. During the autumn foliage season, the area around Nara and the Kyoto area becomes extremely crowded with tourists, but Hyakurakuso's relaxed atmosphere is also an attractive feature.
How do I get to Hyakurakuso?
It is located about a 5-minute walk from Tomio Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line. We will introduce the travel time from major stations in Osaka and Nara to Tomio Station.
◇Approx. 30-40 minutes from Osaka Namba Station on the Nara Line (depending on the train type)
◇Approx. 15 minutes from Nara Nara Line
We actually walked there from Tomio Station! After climbing a slightly steep slope, you will see the entrance to Hyakurakuso on your right hand side. If you are worried about your legs or if it is summer, we recommend taking a taxi from Gakuenmae Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line! (It's about one meter away.)
