Saga Arashiyama Bunkakan is an art museum located about a 5-minute walk from Togetsu Bridge in Arashiyama. After its renovation in November 2018, the museum was reborn as an art museum that introduces Japanese art more broadly, while deepening the contents of the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu. The museum has been reborn as an art museum that introduces a wider range of Japanese art.
