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.

``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?
