HatagayaThis house was the residence where theauthor Hayashi Fumiko, known for her
work "A Wanderer s Notebook", spent
her last 10 years of life. During this period,
she lived contentedly as both a writer andhousewife. This "The four winds could
pass through" house tells us her calm andundecorated sense of style as it was atthat time.

Until the 1950 s, over 300 factories related
to the dyeing industry bordered the Myoushouji river and the Kanda river. Because of this,Ochiai had the honor of being, along with
Kyoto and Kanazawa, one of the threebiggest dye producers in Japan. Even now
Ochiai and Nakai are dotted with dye
artisans. Some-no-Sato Ochiai's works are
displayed for the public, and they hold an
event called "Some no komichi" in the latterpart of February, where they hang bolts ofcloth over the river, transforming it into "TheRiver Gallery".

This urban oasis is hidden in the center ofa quiet residential neighborhood. During
the Edo period (1603-1868), Otomeyama
was a mountain kept for the shogun'sfamily to hunt in. The name comes from"no admittance" in Japanese. You may
catch a glimpse of wild birds darting
between the trees or some of the native
buglife. In the summer, "Fireﬂy observation
evenings" are held.

Established during the Kamakura period (11921333), Yakuo-in Temple is a Buddhist temple
that follows the Buzan sect of Shingon
Buddhism. Known as a fantastic spot forviewing peony ﬂowers, its nickname is thepeony temple. Originally, 100 peony plants
were transplanted from the sect s head
temple, Hase-dera Temple in Nara, but now
this number has grown to approximately 1,000
plants of over 40 varieties. The best time tovisit is mid to late April, when the beauty of theblooms can make you feel as if you have beentransported away from the city.
