Gokokuin is a proof of visit (memorial of visiting a demonic spot) given at shrines and temples associated with demonic spots such as ghosts, monsters, and sorcery. In this second project, we have created two types of Gokokuin with designs of Rokudo-Chinko-ji Temple, located at Rokudo-no-Tsuji, famous as the entrance to the underworld, and Minatoya Ghost Child-raising Candy's Ghost Child-raising Candy, as well as a Gokokuin walking map that will be useful for sightseeing around the area. At Rokudo-Chinko-ji Temple, there is a "Meido-Tsui no Ido" (well for passing through the underworld), where Ono no Takamura, who is said to have traveled between this world and the other, is said to have traveled between the world of the living and the world of the dead, and is said to have been a strange legend that he served the Imperial Court during the day and the Enma-cho (Enma-cho) as an official of King Enma's palace. Ghost Child-raising Candy Honpo is the oldest candy store in Japan, with over 450 years of history, and sells Ghost Child-raising Candy, known as the candy that connects "life."Night Sightseeingshrines and templesMakai spotGokokuinKyoto experienceLINK KYOTOKyoto sustainable tourismshrinetempleKyoto sightseeingKyotoKyoto culture

The Shimogamo Shrine Tadasu Noh Preservation Society will hold the 9th Tadasu Noh on Saturday, May 25, 2024 at the Tadasu no Mori of Kamo Mizu Shrine (Shimogamo Shrine), a world cultural heritage site. "Tadasu-no-no" refers to the "Tadasu-gawara Kanjin Sarugaku" that was held in front of famous feudal lords including Shogun Yoshimasa Ashikaga in 1464, about 550 years ago. It was rebuilt for the first time in 550 years during the 34th Shikinen Sengu of Kamo Mizu Shrine (2015). It is an outdoor Noh performance set in the Maiden (Important Cultural Property) of Kamo Goso Shrine.In 2019, it was changed to "Tadasu Noh" as the afterglow of the Kamo Festival (Aoi Festival) to commemorate the Grand Encyclopedia of Reiwa, and is held every year. We have been holding this event. At Kamo Mizu Shrine, the Sengu began 2100 years ago, and the Saigyo Sengu will be the 60th in 2036. Furthermore, in accordance with Emperor Goichijo's proclamation, the system of Sengu was established every 20 years, and the first one was held on April 13, 1036. It will be a special festival of the year. Looking back on the 1,000-year relationship between gods and humans, and wanting to reexamine the relationship between nature and culture, this year, in preparation for the 1000-year milestone, we will perform the Noh play ``Aoiue Azunode Sora no Prayer.'' , we will be performing the Kyogen play ``Enmeibukuro.''Pass on to future generationsTadasu abilityKyoto experienceNohLINK KYOTOKyoto sustainable tourismtraditional culture

``Lake Biwa Canal Boat'' A great achievement of the Meiji era that was achieved by connecting the thoughts of our predecessors. Kyoto rapidly declined after the Meiji Restoration due to the de facto transfer of the capital to Tokyo. The key to its revival was the construction of the Lake Biwa Canal. This unprecedentedly large project, which cost approximately twice the annual budget of Kyoto Prefecture at the time, was completed in 1890 with the help of Japanese people alone, without relying on foreign engineers. Please enjoy the scenery of this Japan Heritage site, which is still loved even after about 70 years. In the spring of 2024, we will extend the route to Lake Biwa and Otsu Port and begin operations! Why not enjoy sightseeing around Lake Biwa and passing through Otsu Lock, as well as enjoy the colorful cherry blossom trees and fresh greenery along the waterway?Link KyotoLake Biwa canal boatcanalscenicLINK KYOTOautumn leavessustainableKyoto sightseeing

In order to realize sustainable tourism in Kyoto, we must rethink the traditional travel style of simply visiting famous tourist spots. LINK KYOTO supports ``1/KYOTO,'' a travel product produced by Nishizawa Stay Co., Ltd.'s travel business [Hood Travel] that allows you to talk with carefully selected Kyoto people, as a model for tourism that will help Kyoto become sustainable.

Gokokuin is a proof of visiting shrines and temples associated with demonic spots such as ghosts, monsters, and magic (to commemorate a visit to a demonic spot). In this project, which is the first edition of Gokuroin, we have established the ``Kaidan Sermon'' method, which uses ghost stories as an easy-to-understand method of preaching, and we have included an original Gokuroin story by Mr. Ogumo Miki, who is popular as a ghost story priest.

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.Tea ceremony experienceLink KyotoKyoto experienceLINK KYOTOKyoto sightseeingexperienceKyoto culturetraditional culture
