History
Yamashiro Hollywood was built in 1914 as a private estate and social club, mimicking a palace in the Yamashiro mountains near Kyoto, Japan. Over the decades, it transformed from a private residence to a boys' military school, and later to an apartment complex before becoming a renowned dining destination.
