The Kujo Pond and Shusuitei Pavilion are remnants of the grand garden that once belonged to the Kujo family, one of Japan’s prestigious five regent houses (Gosekke). The Shusuitei, built about 200 years ago during the late Edo period, served as a tea house for the family’s leisure and is considered a playful and creative example of Edo-era architecture.

Even today, this charming tea house continues to host tea ceremonies and other events. For those interested in experiencing its beauty, it is open to the public on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays (excluding the New Year holidays). From Shusuitei, you can admire the tranquil Kujo Pond, which was carefully designed in 1778 to complement the view of the Higashiyama Mountains in the background, creating a harmonious blend of nature and architecture.

Although the scenery has changed somewhat over the centuries, with trees having grown tall and reshaped the landscape, visitors can still enjoy the calm and serene atmosphere that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle of central Kyoto.
