Meeting
Nijo-jo Castle（二条城）
Nijo-jo Castle has witnessed some of the most important events in Japanese history in the 400 years since it was built. The castle was completed in 1603 on the orders of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the founder and first Shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate (1603-1867).
Kodai-ji（高台寺）
A temple of the Kenninji school of the Rinzai sect in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City. The mountain name is Mt. Jubusan. The principal object of worship is Shaka Nyorai. The name of the temple is specifically Kodai Jushozenji Temple. The temple was built by Kita no Mandokoro, the lawful wife of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, to pray for Hideyoshi's soul, and the name of the temple comes from Kodai-in, the name of the temple after Kita no Mandokoro's dedication (becoming a Buddhist monk). Along with being a Zen temple, it also has the character of a mausoleum dedicated to Hideyoshi and Kita no Mandokoro.
Entoku-in（圓徳院）
A temple of the Kenninji school of the Rinzai sect in Higashiyama Ward, Kyoto City. The tower head of Kodaiji Temple. The principal object of worship is Shaka Nyorai. It is known that Kitanomandokoro, the lawful wife of Hideyoshi TOYOTOMI, used it as her home base in her later years, and it is also said to be the place of her demise. The three-faced Daikokuten in the collection is said to be Hideyoshi's nenjibutsu.
Kiyomizu-dera Temple（清水寺）
Kiyomizu-dera is a temple of the Hosso sect (one of the six sects of Nanto), and along with Koryu-ji and Kurama-dera, it is one of the few temples in Kyoto that has a history dating back to before the transfer of the capital to Heian-kyo. Along with Ishiyamadera (Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture) and Hasedera Temple (Sakurai City, Nara Prefecture), it is one of Japan's leading sacred Kannon sites.
Myoken-ji Temple（妙顕寺）
The temple is called Ryuka Gusokuzan Myosenji Temple, and was the first temple of the Nichiren sect in Rakuchu, founded in 1321 in the late Kamakura period. It was built by Nichizo Shonin, who succeeded Nichiren Daishonin's will and became the imperial capital.
After Nichizo Shonin's tenacious missionary work, Emperor Godaigo gave the temple an imperial edict to propagate the Lotus Sutra.
The temple moved repeatedly, but after the Honnoji Incident, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered the temple to be moved to its current location, Ogawa Teranouchi, and the form of the temple today was established.
During the Edo period, most of the temple was destroyed by the Great Fire of Tenmei in 1788, but it was quickly rebuilt, and most of the current buildings were rebuilt at that time.
Since then, it has survived the Haibutsu Kishaku (a movement to abolish Buddhism) in the Meiji period and the chaotic period after the war, and has inherited the lantern to this day.

“Fantastic Service!!!”
We had a wonderful experience with our driver during our trip to Aomori. He arrived on time each day and was consistently polite, courteous, and eager to enhance our journey by sharing information about the local area. As we traveled, he pointed out beautiful flowers, scenic mountains, and notable landmarks, making the drive both informative and enjoyable. On the second day, we visited Hirosaki Castle. Concerned that we might get lost in the adjacent botanical garden, he thoughtfully parked the car, retrieved a map from the entrance, and clearly explained the walking route to the castle. He even arranged to meet us at the castle entrance so we could walk together to the nearby samurai house, sharing fascinating facts about the history of Hirosaki Castle along the way. I truly enjoyed learning from him—it added great value to our visit. Later that day, I had made a reservation at a local restaurant for 11:30 AM. I was concerned we wouldn’t make it in time and hadn’t called the restaurant to inform them. To my surprise, the driver had already anticipated this and had proactively contacted the restaurant to adjust our reservation, having calculated our timing while we were still in the garden. This level of foresight and care was incredibly impressive. To top it off, he even prepared umbrellas for us, having checked the weather forecast in advance and noted a chance of rain. I was truly speechless—his service was nothing short of outstanding. I am planning to return to Aomori later this year with my family, and I will definitely choose TRtaxi and GoWithGuide again. Thank you for such exceptional and thoughtful service!
