The dream waterway of our predecessors, which can be traced by canal boat
Traces of many great achievements that can only be seen by boarding the shipLake Biwa Canal is an artificial canal built to revive Kyoto's industry, which had declined due to the relocation of the capital to Tokyo. This project, which was completed after overcoming numerous difficulties, was a major project in Kyoto during the Meiji period, carried out solely by Japanese people. The Lake Biwa Canal has been revived after 70 years.
Please enjoy a boat trip where you can see for yourself the achievements of our predecessors while enjoying the scenery around the canal that creates a seasonal atmosphere.▶ Unique points
《Points that can only be seen by those on board》
・Among the plaques written by politicians who represent the Meiji period that are displayed at the entrance of each tunnel, the only one inside the tunnel is Kunimichi Kitagaki, the third governor of Kyoto who planned and constructed the canal project. It's a flat forehead.
・Passengers on board can see the pit, which was the first in Japan to use the pit method, from below.LINK KYOTOautumn leavescherry blossomshistoryKyoto sightseeingsightseeingexperienceKyoto culture

We who love this town and the tourists who love this town.
Even if we have the same thoughts,
There is an invisible wall between residents and tourists.I made that wall
It may be the way of "journey" that we have provided so far.In the eternal history of over 1000 years,
In this town, people's wisdom and creativity intersect, culture develops, and the city flourishes.And now, there are people who have started to create new value for tourism by reviewing the “travel” of the past.
I would like to ask people living in Kyoto, working people, and everyone involved in tourism.

A special place called Kyoto, a Noh stage built on the site of the Hana-no-Imperial Palace
Would you like to experience a secret that has been around for 650 years?Was Zeami the original idol boy?Starting with an interesting story about Noh, you will practice singing, experience how to walk and move in Noh, and see and wear gorgeous Noh costumes up close.He is a mysterious Noh mask and a Noh accompaniment that is as good as an orchestra.
There is something like the backbone of the Japanese people, such as straightening your collar and standing tall, which we often forget. Why not explore the business model of a culture that has continued for about 650 years since the Muromachi period? Also, rediscover the good things about Japan by experiencing the awareness and learning.
▶Unique points
Representatives (around 10 people) will actually step onto the Noh stage and learn how to stand and walk in Noh. There are also experiences of playing musical instruments and wearing gorgeous Noh costumes. Try on a Noh mask and experience how a Noh performer sees the perspective from which he dances. If the Kawamura Noh Stage is not available, it can be held on another stage or at your accommodation.NohLINK KYOTOhistoryKyoto sightseeingexperienceKyotogenuineKyoto culture
