◆What is Gokokuin?
A Gokokuin is a proof of pilgrimage (memorial of visiting a demonic spot) given at shrines and temples associated with demonic spots such as ghosts, monsters, and sorcery. It is basically made of black hosho paper with a vermilion stamp design and ink writing on top.
The first Gokokuin comes with a special Gokokuin story by Daiun Miki, the chief priest of Renkyuji Temple in Kyoto well known as a ghost story priest and established "Ghost Story Preaching," which uses ghost stories as a starting point to preach Buddhism in an easy-to-understand manner.

``Yudofu'' has been popular on the approach to Nanzenji Temple in Kyoto since ancient times.
Please enjoy our famous yudofu made with domestic soybeans that has a unique taste and is served with our special sauce.Junsho Shoin, a registered tangible cultural property of the country, was built in 1839, and the famous Kyoto entertainment area and strolling garden, which shows off its seasonal expressions, is a space where you can forget the hectic pace of everyday life.
This Junsho Shoin was also mentioned in the Kyoto guide book ``Hana Raku Meisho Zue'' at the end of the Edo period, and is now used as a Kyoto Kaiseki guest room.
In the Edo period Kyoto guidebook Hanaraku Scenic Views, it is written that ``Tangoya's yudofu is a specialty from ancient times, and travelers must try it...'' Around this time, Nanzenji's yudofu became a specialty. It turns out that it was.
At Junsei, you can enjoy flavorful tofu made with carefully selected domestic soybeans and a special yudofu sauce that brings out the full flavor.

You can try making your own ``one-of-a-kind flower hairpin''!
Even small pieces of cloth that would otherwise be thrown away are cherished and used with care.
I want to spread the spirit of tsumamizaiku, so I don't just teach techniques, but I focus on the experience of ``finishing a piece of work''.
The thrill of seeing a small piece of cloth that would otherwise have been thrown away become a wonderful accessory, and the joy of playing with colors will soothe your mind and forget the time.
Please take a look at how much you can bring out the personality of the cloth that changes by pinching it, and how it transforms into a chance encounter and a single flower petal.*The experience is for 2 or more people.
*Please make a reservation in advance.LINK KYOTOsustainablehistoryexperienceKyotogenuinetraditional cultureSDGs
