◆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.

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.
