自転車で長楽館へChorakukan is one of the many period homes in Kyoto that have avoided the wrecking ball and been restored for non-residential uses.
Chorakukan is on the south edge of Maruyama Park, not far from the Path of Nene, Kodaiji Temple, and Gion.
It was designed by J.M. Gardner, and was completed in 1909.
Originally, it served as the summer home for a tobacco magnate.
Today it is a hotel, restaurant, cafe, and venue for wedding parties.
For those with a bit of time or in need of a break after wandering the hills of Higashiyama, Chorakukan is the perfect place for an afternoon coffee.
