  [2nd Edition] Gokokuin ~Taichinzan Rokudouchinnou-ji Temple × Ghost Candy~

  

  ◆What is Gokokuin?

  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 written on black hosho paper with a vermilion stamp design.

  This second project includes two types of Gokokuin stamps featuring designs of Rokudouchinnou-ji, located at Rokudo-no-Tsuji, famous as the entrance to the underworld, and Minatoya – Ghost Candy Shop, as well as a Gokokuin stamp walking map that will be useful for sightseeing around the area.

  *"Gokokuin" is a trademark pending registration by JTB Corp. (December in 2023)

  Within Kyoto City

  Sky Hop Bus: "Get on and off as you like! A sightseeing pass to visit Kyoto's major tourist spots"

  

  Sightseeing in Kyoto on a two-story open bus with a sense of openness.

   

  ★Free hop-on and hop-off!
  This bus route takes you around the main tourist spots in central Kyoto, and you can get on and off at any bus stop. If you're short on time, we recommend using the Green Course or Purple Course and making your own arrangements.

   

  ★An experience that's different from usual!
  You may be able to discover new charms of Kyoto city that you could not see on a walk around the city from the double-decker open-top bus. We also provide audio guided sightseeing information on the bus. You will not have to worry about missing out on any famous sights as we provide tourist information based on the guide's knowledge.

   

  ★Sit down and be efficient!
  Accessing Kyoto's sightseeing spots is a pain because of the time it takes to get around on your own, and it's a bit of a hassle if you don't take a taxi. There are bus stops at the Kyoto Station Karasuma Exit and at Shijo Karasuma, where there are many accommodations, so it's very convenient for sightseeing in Kyoto! You will also be seated on the bus, so you can travel comfortably!

   

   

  ★"We also recommend taking advantage of the "Hometown Tax" system and receiving gifts in return!
