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."

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.

Follow the dream waterway of our ancestors on a canal boat. Traces of their many great achievements can only be seen by boat. The Lake Biwa Canal is an artificial canal built to revive Kyoto's industries, which had declined after the capital was moved to Tokyo. The project, which overcame many difficulties, was a major project in Kyoto during the Meiji period, carried out solely by Japanese people. After 70 years, the Lake Biwa Canal has been revived. Enjoy a boat trip to see the great achievements of our ancestors with your own eyes, while taking in the scenery around the canal that exudes a different atmosphere in every season.

Enjoy a sake brewery tour with all five senses at a sake brewery that is normally closed to the public Sasaki Sake Brewery continues to make sake in the middle of Kyoto. Located on the site of Jurakudai, which was loved by Toyotomi Hideyoshi, we continue to brew all our sake using hand-made techniques handed down in Kyoto and Rakuchu. In this plan, you can experience sake brewing in Rakuchu, which has been passed down for a long time. At the end, we will include a tasting comparison of 5 types of sake recommended by the brewer depending on the season!

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.
