About Rakurakuso

Rakurakuso is a historic residence in Kameoka, west of Kyoto, built around 1898 by Tanaka Gentaro, founder of the Kyoto Railway Company, who remodelled his own birthplace. The mansion is now run by the GANKO restaurant group as 'Kyoto Kameoka Rakurakuso', an oyashiki (mansion) restaurant where guests dine while looking out over the garden. The restaurant serves Japanese set lunches and banquet courses, which require a reservation, and also runs a mansion café. It has 306 seats in total, with banquet rooms for up to 90 people; even when table seating is requested, guests may be shown to a private room or tatami room. The address is Kitamachi 44, Kameoka.
