Yamagata-Aritomo started to build a guest-house, named the 3rd MURIN-AN near the Nanzenji-temple. This building work was completed by the united efforts of some potentates in politics and industrial world. Making process of these guest-houses had mutural relations with the preservation of scenic beauty around the Higashiyama-area. Building work of the 3rd MURIN-AN by Yamagata accelerated the making this group of guest-houses.
