Itinerary
Only Hino remains in Honjin (Accommodation for high class people) the only one left in Tokyo. I can show you the rooms and tableware where the old people lived, the architecture of the Edo period, the garden, and feel the remnants of the old days. ・Honjin (本陣) is the Japanese word for an inn for government officials, generally located in post stations (shukuba) during the later part of the Edo period.
Zen temples in Japan are thought to be Kyoto for tourists, but they also exist in the city where I live, and they are quieter and can be seen more slowly than any other Zen temple. Let's walk the Zen temple together. Hosenji is a Zen temple of the Rinzai sect Kenchoji school. The founder was Kenchoji Kamakura, and it was founded in the Mototoku era (around 1330).
I would like to introduce you to a local shrine. It's a very quiet shrine, and you can feel it as an oasis in the city. By telling tourists that there is such a culture, you can understand the difference between a shrine that has become a tourist destination and a local shrine. I will introduce How to practice a shrine manner. Visit a local shrine, the date of its foundation is unknown, but according to the company's biography, Fumonji Temple was built in 1398, and became a Betto of Gozu Tenno Shrine, and became Yasaka Shrine in 1869.
