This is a limited-time event where you can experience the charms of various types of jellyfish through approximately 170 handmade jellyfish-themed wind chimes and Kyoto umbrellas painted with jellyfish.

Inspired by the 18 species of jellyfish bred at Kyoto Aquarium, artisans at the long-established Edo-period Kyoto umbrella shop "Hiyoshiya" have individually hand-painted Kyoto umbrellas in ink and color, in collaboration with "TAKU GLASS," a glass specialty store from Niigata Prefecture, which created the "jellyfish wind chimes." The result is truly impressive.

This year, mini Kyoto umbrellas will be available for limited-time photo sessions! Only after 4 p.m. on weekdays, commemorative mini umbrellas will be available on the second-floor terrace. You can hold a mini umbrella painted with jellyfish and take pictures together with the "jellyfish wind chimes" and "jellyfish Kyoto umbrellas." Don’t miss the chance to capture your visit. (After 4 p.m. on weekdays ※ Not available from August 12th (Tue) to 15th (Fri).)
