−The beautiful Japanese black pine is used for the artistic cultivation technique known as bonsai.−
The picturesque “bonsai” that you’ll find here are carefully raised and trimmed by the owner of “Kawai Kosoen” nursery. Different perspectives can be found in each bonsai plant depending on the viewing angle. “Kawai Kosoen” is a long-established store founded in 1877. One of their branches is also located in Shijo Omiya.

Kyomachiya Luck You Bukkoji Higashimachi is modeled after the traditional Kyoto machiya. Inside of the compact, three-story, 9-room building, you’ll find many age-old novelties unique to the Kyomachiya like the “koshi-mado” (lattice windows), “the inuyarai”, and the “tsuridoko” (a lowered wall for displaying flowers and other ornaments). The bonsai at the entrance and the Shaolin dojo next door contribute to the fresh and unique ambiance.
