2025 Oyamazaki Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Access: Within 10 minutes on foot from Yamazaki Station on the JR Kyoto Line. Please note that there is a good chance that there will be no taxis at the nearest station, so walking may be your only option. Tourist attractions: Learn about the history of whiskey and actually sample whiskey. This is the best place for whiskey lovers, as you can drink very rare liquors for just a few hundred yen. On the second floor, there are many Yamazaki and Suntory-related items for sale, and I bought a distillery-exclusive whiskey and a Yamazaki non-aged whiskey to take home.

Hello! My name is Shinya and I post about architecture and travel on Instagram! Today I would like to introduce the Asahi Beer Oyamazaki Villa Museum of Art in Kyoto. This museum was designed by architect Tadao Ando! The space between the famous concrete walls has a unique atmosphere and is a special space. #summertrip #breathtakingviews #foodtrip #coupletrip #historicsites #recommendedforDecember #amazingnature #instaworthy×beautifulwomen #immediatephotographytechniques #autumnfoliage #autumnleafviewing #kyototrip #kyoto

#京都景点 Rimiya Hachimangu Shrine is the predecessor of Iwashimizu Hachimangu Shrine. It was built in 859 AD and was named after the villa of Emperor Saga. It is said that this is the birthplace of oil production in Japan because during the Tsunemoto period, monks at that time invented the perilla oil press and began the production of perilla oil. In addition, the goshuin of the Tamatesai Kitatake Shrine, which was enshrined near the eighth station of Tennozan, is currently also enshrined in the Tonomiya Hachimangu Shrine. It prospered as an oil base for the production and sale of oil. The people at the shrine were very friendly and told all kinds of stories. The goshuin has Tennozan, Yamazaki Castle, and the dividing point of the world written on it. Tokimiya Hachiman Shrine also sells amulets, so it is recommended to visit.

The entrance to the museum reminds me of the fantasy world of Spirited Away. After passing through the bridge, the view opens up. 🔥In early December, the maple leaves here are at their most beautiful. 🔥At the highest point, a century-old English mansion is hidden in the mountains. 🍁The museum consists of the main building, "Oyamazaki Villa," an English-style villa designed by businessman Shotaro Kaga, and other buildings designed by the famous architect Tadao Ando, including "The Underground Jewel Box" (Underground Gallery) and "The Dream Box" (Yamato Gallery). 🏠Tadao Ando is known for his unique architectural designs using exposed concrete. In the museum, his designs for the Underground Gallery and Yamato Gallery harmonize with the surrounding environment, showcasing his exceptional design talent. ✅The Underground Gallery is a semi-underground structure with a cylindrical exhibition space topped with greenery, blending with the surrounding landscape. The stairs to the Underground Gallery lead to a semi-subterranean circular exhibition hall, which is not very visible from the ground, minimizing its impact on the surrounding environment. The exposed concrete architectural design is very Tadao Ando. ✅The Yamato Gallery is box-shaped, echoing the cylindrical Underground Gallery. ⛰️There is a café on the second floor with a terrace offering a great view to the south. In front of you is the confluence of the Katsura, Uji, and Kizu rivers, forming the Yodo River, which flows westward into Osaka Bay. 🚌Transportation: Free shuttle bus from JR Yamazaki Station and Hankyu Oyamazaki Station 🎫Tickets: Prices vary depending on the exhibition, generally between JPY 1,300 and 1,500

Address: 5-3 Zenihara, Oyamazaki-cho, Otokuni-gun, Kyoto 618-0071 Recommended points: Photography is prohibited inside the museum, but the museum itself looks like a Ghibli building from the outside!
