About this event
The "Ame no Nenbutsu-so", a villa built in Hayama Town in the early Showa period by koto player and essayist Michio Miyagi, will be opened to the public as the building reaches an estimated 100 years of age. You can experience its history and culture in this place where many famous musical pieces and essays were born. Organized by the NPO Hayama Environmental Cultural Design Group, which has been entrusted with management and operation by the owner, Michio Miyagi Foundation, the event offers guided tours, tea confectionery, and booklets. It will be held in two sessions (morning and afternoon), and advance registration is required due to limited capacity per session. Why not take this opportunity to experience the tranquil space loved by Michio Miyagi and the world of art that emerged from it?
