Kagetsu Historic Site Restaurant Kagetsu

A historical restaurant that has been loved by writers, writers and artists since the end of the Edo period as a social gathering place for international people.

Kagetsu began in 1642 when it was built as a tea house in the garden of Hiketaya, a long-established store in Nagasaki's Maruyama red light district.

At the end of the Taisho era, Hikidaya went out of business, but the name Kagetsu and the garden and building of Hikidaya have been passed down to the present day, and in 1960 it was designated as a historic site in Nagasaki Prefecture, making it a rare historical restaurant in Japan.

Maruyama was a social gathering place for international people who were active during the turbulent period from the end of the Edo period to the Meiji period, and was visited by many writers and artists such as Rai Sanyo, and has been featured in poems and prints.
There is the Dragon Room, where the scars of Ryoma Sakamoto's sword can be seen on the pillars, and the Harusame Room, which is Japan's first Western-style room that combines Japanese and Western style, with a tiled floor, Japanese-style coffered ceiling, and windows that incorporate Chinese style. It still retains its original appearance, including the ``Moon Room,'' which overlooks the Japanese garden that Kaishu Katsu loved.

There is also a museum called the Shukokan, where you can find valuable materials such as poetry books and photographs handwritten by Aihachi, a famous geisha who became famous for the original Nakanishi Rei's ``Nagasaki Burabura Bushi,'' and calligraphy written by Ryoma Sakamoto. You can see it up close.

Please enjoy Nagasaki's traditional cuisine ``Sippoku Ryori'' in the space where our ancestors spent their time, while looking at the beautiful garden built during the Genroku period.
