📍Stand

The "Shinkyogoku Stand" is a popular cafeteria that was established in the Taisho era and opened in the second year of the Showa period. It is located on Shijo Kawaramachi, in the Shinkyogoku Street in Kyoto.

Inside the restaurant, the marble counter and tables, which exude a strong presence, have remained the same since its founding. The electric cash register, which was rare at the time, and the posters from the early Showa period also evoke the atmosphere of that era. Shinkyogoku Stand offers an authentic Showa retro experience that is not artificially created.

Why not enjoy the nostalgic flavors and pleasant time in a space that feels like a time slip unique to the stand?

Wedding in Japan

In the Shinto ceremony, the couple reports their marriage to the gods based on the idea of a family tie, and in the Buddhist ceremony, the couple thanks their family and parents for their relationship and vows to be bound to each other until the next life. Both are traditional Japanese ceremonies, with the Shinto ceremony including the sanzen-no-mikoto ceremony and tamagushi offering, and the Buddhist ceremony including the giving of prayer beads and burning of incense.

This photo shows a couple who had their wedding ceremony at the shrine.
We wish them a long and happy life together!

📍Todaiji Temple

Todaiji Temple is a Buddhist temple located in Nara, Japan. It is one of the most famous and historic temples in the country and is designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The temple was originally built in the 8th century, during the Nara period, and has been rebuilt several times over the years due to fires and other disasters. The main building, known as the Daibutsuden or Great Buddha Hall, is the largest wooden structure in the world and houses a giant copper statue of the Buddha, which is over 15 meters tall.
Aside from the Great Buddha Hall, there are several other notable buildings and structures within the temple complex, including the Nandaimon Gate, the Hokkedo Hall, and the Sangatsudo Hall. The temple also has a large park surrounding it, known as Nara Park, which is home to hundreds of tame deer that are considered sacred.
Todaiji Temple is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in Japanese history, culture, and architecture. It is a truly awe-inspiring sight and a testament to the craftsmanship and dedication of the people who built it.
