Here we introduce the gardens that Ueyakato Landscape is involved in.

The garden of this private second home near Nanzen-ji Temple was created when the house was newly built.

Higashi Hongan-ji Temple’s Civic Green Space (Ohigashi-san Hiroba Square)

Higashi Hongan-ji Temple’s Civic Green Space (Ohigashi-san Hiroba Square) is located in front of the temple's gate just a few minutes away from Kyoto Station. As part of its efforts to activate the Kyoto Station area, Kyoto City had been considering how to put this green space to more active use, and it turned out that Higashi Hongan-ji Temple was also interested in using the space to make its temple more accessible to the local neighborhood.

Kyoto International Conference Center: Japanese Garden (strolling pond garden)

Kyoto International Conference Center (hereafter, ICC) was opened in May 1966 as Japan’s first international conference center.

Kyoto Porta, West Area

Kyoto Porta is an underground commercial facility located on the north side of Kyoto Station. In Italian, “porta” means “gateway” or “entrance.” And ever since Kyoto Porta’s opening in 1980, people have treasured it as a shopping district directly connected to Kyoto Station, main entrance into the international tourism city of Kyoto.
