Description

Okochi Denjiro was a jidaigeki (period drama) film actor who was active mainly with Nikkatsu Studios before the war. The highlight is the strolling garden that makes use of the hillside terrain. Since it's on elevated ground, you get views of the Hozu River, Narabigaoka, Mt. Hiei, and the Kyoto cityscape. It tends to be relatively uncrowded even during peak tourist season.
