Why You Should Visit

Kyoto Takashimaya's 7th-floor Grand Hall hosts this exhibition marking 50 years of Tetsuko's Room, the TV Asahi talk show that has run since 1976. It revisits memorable moments with some 12,800 guests, traces the studio set from the first version to today, and shows keepsakes Tetsuko Kuroyanagi still keeps at home, alongside her work as a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador through photos and film. Part of the venue lets you step into the role of a guest on the show. The touring exhibition comes to Kyoto after Tokyo and runs until 5 October.

Essentials

There are 12 car parks within a 12-minute walk of Grand Hall, 7F, Kyoto Takashimaya S.C. (department store), and 5 public restrooms within 8 minutes. The map shows each with its walking time.

Facility data comes from OpenStreetMap. It does not include opening hours, fees or availability.
