At the Intersection of Nostalgia and Nature in Arashiyama: Exploring the Snow Peak Complex Space

Nestled in the beautiful scenery of Arashiyama, Kyoto, the Snow Peak complex space is located in a historic area and has cleverly renovated a century-old Taisho-era traditional building. The old beams and cement walls have been preserved, perfectly blending historical and modern aesthetics. Stepping into this nostalgic shop, one can immediately feel the unique leisurely atmosphere of Arashiyama. The Taisho-era ryokan has been meticulously restored, still showcasing its historical charm. The iconic Snow Peak tents and camping tables and chairs set up in front of the store inject a fresh vitality into this tourist hotspot, making one feel as if they have traveled through a hundred years of time. In collaboration with internationally renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, a wooden cabin that changes with the seasons has been built at the back. This makes the camping experience more than just a simple outdoor activity; it becomes an integration of sensibility and artistic lifestyle. In this tranquil nature, whether savoring coffee or selecting outdoor gear, one can feel the charm and tranquility of Arashiyama, immersing themselves in this space where humans and nature coexist harmoniously.
