Kikuchi City in Kumamoto Prefecture was home to the Kikuchi clan, who flourished for 450 years from the late Heian period through the Muromachi period.

This prominent clan made its name as a major samurai family, and its legacy appears in famous works such as The Tale of Genji, the Scrolls of the Mongol Invasions, and Taiheiki.
In Kikuchi, why not don the tsubo-zuoshoku, the travel dress of Heian to Kamakura princesses, and enjoy a stroll through town?

We provide the ichimegasa hat topped with the diaphanous mushi-no-tare-ginu (a sheer, organza-like drape), zori sandals, and a bamboo staff.

After dressing, a staff member will take one photo for you. You will receive that photo when you return.
Enjoy the feeling of a Heian princess as you visit Kikuchi Shrine, Kogenji Temple, and stroll the atmospheric Gosho Street.

Many photo spots dot the area. Please feel free to take your own pictures as well.

Kikuchi Onsen and an Easy Yukata Town Stroll —Take the Yukata Home—

Reserve here↓
https://x.gd/Zz7P9...

Kikuchi Onsen is famed as a “beauty bath” and a “cosmetic bath” for its silky water, and many visitors, especially women, love it.
After you relax and refresh in those soothing waters, why not change into a yukata and take a leisurely walk through Kikuchi’s town center?
The yukata is a two-piece women’s style in size M (top and skirt), so anyone can put it on easily as if dressing in regular clothes.
The obi is a soft heko-obi that ties into a simple ribbon for a cute finish.

Wear the yukata while enjoying a meal or drinks at local restaurants, or simply stroll around town.
Enjoy a different mood from your everyday routine.

You may take the yukata home after wearing it, so please enjoy it later at home as well.

() Women’s two-piece yukata, size M
[Yukata] Height 155 cm–165 cm Hip 83 cm–93 cm
Back length 52.5 cm Sleeve-to-center 68 cm Sleeve length 49 cm Skirt length 99 cm Waist width 126 cm Hip width 133 cm
Material: 100% cotton
[Heko-obi] Length approximately 400 cm × width approximately 40 cm

Material: 64% polyester, 35% nylon, 1% polyurethane
Depending on the arrival batch, some items may be 100% polyester.

You can leave your changing baggage with the Kikuchi Tourism Association (10:00–17:00, closed every Tuesday).
*Normally one bag is 300 yen, but for customers who apply for this plan the baggage fee is included in the experience price.

[Limited to one person per day!] Exclusive hire of Kogenji Temple main hall with one of Japan’s largest carved ceiling dragons — an exquisite relaxation experience

Indulge in a private viewing of one of the country’s largest painted carved ceiling artworks. Experience sublime head relaxation under the watchful gaze of a dragon.

Book here↓
https://x.gd/Zz7P9...

=========================================
Kogenji Temple has served as a Jodo Shinshu Honganji-ha temple for 426 years.
The main hall was destroyed in the Satsuma Rebellion in Meiji 10 (1877).
The current ceiling dragon in the main hall was created to recreate the cloud-dragon painting that was said to have once adorned the ceiling.

Measuring 11 meters wide by 8 meters long and weighing a total of 800 kg, the work combines Souhakuryu, Hanamaru, and Higo Rokka and ranks among the largest in Japan. Its layered composition of carved colorwork and painting is unique.
The best way to admire the ceiling dragon painted overhead is to lie back and look up!!

For this plan, a bed is placed directly beneath the carved painted ceiling while Hanae Yamamoto, a therapist based in Kikuchi City, performs the treatment.

By night, the ceiling carving lit by soft light reveals shadows and highlights that give it a different character from daytime.

Please enjoy an exquisite relaxation experience as you luxuriate in this dreamlike space all to yourself.

She offers highly regarded, original beauty chiropractic treatments developed from 25 years of experience and over 50,000 treatments.
