The nighttime illumination event at Kodaiji Temple is really popular, especially in autumn and winter. When the garden is lit up, the scenery becomes even more magical and enchanting.

Yojiya Kiyomizu Sannenzaka Store
Step into Yojiya, a cosmetics store famous for selling the quintessential Kyoto souvenir "aburatorigami" (oil blotting paper), that founded in 1904. Initially, the store sold stage makeup items such as lipstick and face powder, as well as toothbrushes. Today, Yojiya has evolved into a skincare brand offering a full range to shop.
The shop's design is very elegant and full of traditional Japanese style. It really gives you a strong Kyoto vibe.

Kotohiragu Shrine
The head shrine of Kotohira Shrine stands on Mt. Zozu. It is visited by about 4 million worshippers a year. The main deity, Oomononushinokami, has been known since before the Middle Ages as a guardian deity of maritime traffic and a deity that brings a bountiful harvest and prosperity of industry and culture.
One of the most famous spots in Shikoku! Climbing over 1,000 steps will leave everyone out of breath.

Tono Furusato Village
This tourist facility recreates a traditional mountain village in Tono. Thatched-roof magariya houses built between the mid-Edo and mid-Meiji periods have been relocated here and preserved in their original form. These distinctive L-shaped homes combine the main living quarters and stable under one roof. With streams, fields, and a charcoal-making hut, the village offers a glimpse of Tono in days gone by.
A retro, nostalgic house with adorable horses.
