Inside Towaryokan, located near Nishi Honganji Temple, there is a tea room called ``Seikaan,'' named after the 16th head master of the Urasenke school. We have set up a gentle and fun tea party experience plan for a limited time, because we want everyone to have a gentle time experience in this quiet and tranquil space. The tea ceremony has an image of being difficult to enter, but even beginners are welcome! Please feel free to join us! We will carefully guide you through the process while listening to explanations about etiquette when entering the tea room, viewing the beds and flowers, etc. Please relax and take photos while seated. Although it is near Kyoto Station, which is busy, it is quiet and gentle...that's how time passes. Please feel free to join us for a cultural experience in Kyoto.

Gion Kobu in Kyoto has a history of several hundred years. The special existence of "geiko" and "maiko" is made up of the best of Kyoto's various traditional crafts and traditional performing arts. Preserving the unchanged Hanamachi culture since ancient times leads to the passing on of precious traditional techniques. Geiko and maiko are also communication professionals. Their beauty comes not only from their appearance but also from within. Experience the quintessence of the Japanese culture that Kyoto is proud of around the world by experiencing the carefully passed down craftsmanship and the spirituality of geiko and maiko who cherish every single gesture and etiquette.

The CO2 Zero Travel Plan® is a plan that uses the J-Credit Scheme to offset (carbon offset) the CO2 emissions you make while traveling. By purchasing the value of green electricity, you can essentially reduce the CO2 emissions you make while traveling to zero. CO2 emissions are now a major global issue, as can be seen from the efforts toward the SDGs set by the United Nations. This program was born from the desire to "leave as much of the Earth as possible beautiful for our future children." In order to take concrete action against climate change... As a first step, why not start taking concrete action against "climate change" while traveling?
