Video of Shinkamigoto Town, an island of prayer where beauty and history intersect

2021.05.29

“Shinkamigoto Town” is located in the northern part of the Goto Islands, the westernmost island of Kyushu. The cross-shaped island is dotted with 29 churches and is known as the island of prayer. Built by believers who have endured the crackdown on Christians as a proof of freedom of religion, the church is still surrounded by the pure light of the earth, the clear blue sea, and the magnificent sky, and still has a majestic atmosphere.
A video introducing Shinkamigoto Town has been delivered, so please take a look.

It is a walk through the cobblestones of the important cultural landscape and the harbor where you can feel the sea breeze, through the side streets of the ruins of a kindergarten and elementary school, and to a hidden view spot. Is this Japan? Please enjoy the different space.
Part 2 is “Hinoshima Arifu” (planned).

[Hoshinoya Tokyo] “New Year’s Kabuki Stay” brings the hospitality of an Edo Period theatrical teahouse to the present day.

Hoshinoya Tokyo, a Japanese-style inn located in Otemachi, Tokyo, will again this year host the “New Year Kabuki Stay” program, a two-day and one-night stay from January 5 to 26, 2024.
For people living in Edo, one of their New Year’s pleasures was to watch Kabuki, and it was a chic way to spend the New Year. Theatrical teahouses supported this way of enjoying Kabuki. In addition to arranging tickets to the theater, the teahouses delighted patrons by providing a complete range of services, including plot notes, tea, sweets, makunouchi box lunches, and snacks and drinks (*1). Hoshinoya Tokyo offers a stay to celebrate the New Year with hospitality similar to the theatrical teahouses of the time.

[Shinjuku Gyoen x Naked] NAKED Autumn Foliage in Shinjuku Gyoen 2023 to be held

From November 22 (Wed) to December 3 (Sun), 2023, an autumn foliage lighting event will be held at Shinjuku Gyoen. Following the cherry blossom event this spring, Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked will collaborate again this fall for the autumn foliage event. Shinjuku Gyoen, one of Tokyo’s most famous gardens, is one of the few places in the city where visitors can enjoy the autumn leaves. The 200-meter-long rows of plane trees, the best maple tree spot in the city, Momijiyama, and the “Middle Pond,” with its spectacular reflection in the pond, will offer a world where the autumn leaves of Shinjuku Gyoen and Naked’s art and food are fused together.
